I'm still tweaking the in's and out's of the rig I want, and decided to take a look at the CPU cooler i'd chosen.

I picked the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro simply on reputation, but realised that i'm going for a nice look to my rig aswell as power, then I noticed this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp... AL CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/LGA775) with it's nice blue LEDs (I'm getting the Antec 1200 loaded with blue LEDs, and the shape of the cooler just appeals to me.)

My mobo will be the Asus P5Q Pro Intel P45 (Socket 775), and I just wondered if there's anything I should know about this cooler? I've not heard much about Asus coolers (I'd take the Zalman, but there's not one with blue LEDs)

Edit. Oh yeah, i'll be getting the Q6600, and i'm considering overclocking it to 3ghz (I've never overclocked before, but from OC it's guaranteed to overclock to 3ghz, and general opinion is that it increases gaming speeds dramatically)

Is it really big? Basically, I want my PC glowing so blue that aircraft overhead might mistake it for a landing tower. I've heard that many of the big CPU Coolers are so big that even in the 1200 it means that putting a 120mm fan on the side panel is out of the question, which in this case would mean the Asus is more favourable due to it's lovely blue LEDs :)
