hi guys im sorry if this has been discussed allready, i think of getting the tuniq tower 120 cooler, for amd 64 x2 4800+, asus a8v deluxe motherboard, casetek 1018 case(i think it will fit in this massive case lol ), im wondering
1 will this fit ok in my case
2 DO i have to take out motherboard to fit this cooler
3 how much cooler will my cpu, be over a scythe samurai (old model i believe) idle temps at 2.62ghz 40 to 41 degrees, any help will be much appreciated, p.s if anybody knows of a similar cooler that will do the job as good, But WITHOUT taking motherboard out, i would appreciate it a lot

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-005-SY does not require backplate change so no need to remove mobo.

Just fitted the 'Mine' recently, gotta say im very impressed both by build quality and cooling. The fan which comes with product; is only 100mm and bit average tbh, so out that came and in went Akasa Amber 120mm of which i can adjust speed via front mounted fan speed unit purchased ages ago.

Temps are great, idle 35/33c per core and stress 40/38c per core on current clock in sig. Ramped CPU upto 3.0 and max temp with fan on low was 45/43c per core, fan maxed out knocks another 3/4c off, bargain for price i paid. :cool:

Edit: stick a high rpm fan in like 'YS-TECH FD1238 120mm Fan' then id expect you'd see couple more C's drop off.
