which cooler do you have.?

looks good to go for me anyway

Am going to temporarily stick with the stock as I've stripped my pockets. But from what I've heard AMD are now doing really good stock coolers, much better than intel.

that AS7 should last a few apps anyway just incase you decide to get a 3rd party one later on

I've been doing some last minute research before I order my upgrade (pretty much what your upgrade is) and have discovered some disappointing things about OCZ-Asus compatibility.

It seems Asus boards really don't like OCZ memory at all. If you google it you'll find a plethora of people who had/have non-posting systems with the combination. If you havent bought this upgrade yet I suggest you look more into it like I am, lest you make a mistake you regret lol.
