Hey Guys,

Need some advice on cooling.

I have the following system:

I7 socket 1366
6g of OCZ gold series RAM
2x 1tb Hdd
ati 4890 gpu
scythe ninja hsf
asus p6tse mobo replaced with Gigabyte UD5
lian li pc 7+ case

2 weeks ago my machine stopped working. I switched it on in the morning and no display.

I have tested all components and believe the mobo is fried. So I now have a new mobo a Gigabyte UD5

I am about to rebuild my machine but was wondering whether I should change the HSF? If yes, can you recommend one that will fit my new mobo and my case?, something that is not too expensive like £60 + is too much.

I had overclocked my CPU but will not be doing so again.

I also need thermal paste, can you recommend some?

Your opinions would be appreciated, sorry for the long post

Cheers
