Having a quick read around it seems the ASRock Z77E has issues with fitting a cooler on due to the placement of the cpu slot.

I'm thinking of getting the Silverstone SST-NT07-1156, would this fit with a graphics card on the said motherboard and be sufficient enough to keep the cpu cool with overclock etc?

Or any other suggestions? Would prefer to stick to £20 budget.

I think the Silverstone will be best price wise, but it doesn't seem to come with a fan, is it necessary? or is it good enough to cool passively, looking at the images I'm not sure whether it will fit a fan inside a sg05 as it looks quite tall.

Also came across this pdf which has list of compatible heatsinks one of them is Zalman CNPS9900, any thoughts on that? Although seems way over budget.

Will stick with the stock fan for now. Thanks for the suggestions.
