NB Cooler for P5N-E SLI

[Wiggins]

Can anyone help me with choosing a NB Cooler for my P5N-E SLI?

I have an Akasa AK-961 sat on my chip at the moment but I want to get a decent tower cooler but the NB is tooooooooo big and it limits me to only a few tower coolers.

Thanks

Looks like a decent bit of kit.

Could keep it nice and cool with a Tuniq Tower

noctua nc-u6 fits perfect and will fit with a ninja there so should be ok with anything

Whatever cooler you put on, chances are you will have to actively cool in if you want to hit high clocks.

Are nb temps important on this board? because i fancy pushing mine pretty hard. I might have to invest!

Until I can afford a C2D in the next couple of months I'm sat on a Dual Core 930.

I got it to 3.8Ghz but the NB was very hot to touch after some benchmarking. I thought it would make sense to get a decent NB cooler anyway and with a decent tower cooler i'm just left to get the C2D.

I want to get this puppy to 4Ghz but dont want to be frying eggs on the NB you see.

I have read a lot of good reviews on the noctua nc-u6 just now, especially with the P5N-E boards so have just ordered one.

Cheers for the input guys

They are ok for a modest overclock but if I clock my cpu anywhere over 3.6Ghz, they do get pretty damn hot and it does make it harder to get a decent cooler as its so damn big

What CPU Cooler have you got on your board hedges if you dont mind asking?

Noctua now, but it was ok with stock actually to be honest. Temps havent been a great deal different.
