I kinda thought the cooler/motherboard might have to get chucked anyway - I used to have a shuttle system which had it's own heat sink was wondering if that's a way to go again...
Also thought it might be a bit noisy with the fans I currently have, are there any decent motherboards which would take the processor and maybe have on board graphics with hdmi or something, or would it be better to get a different gpu without the two fans?
