fantastic, got given it for free from a friend who won it at a LAN event and didn't need it, i'm well chuffed should save me having to buy a fan when i get my set up

hope i can overclock it to 3.2, i havent done it before though so finger crossed. well actually i will just come here and ask you gurus

okay and also what fans do i need to buy for it, or dont i need any? sorry im a total noob with this stuff.

do i need to buy 2 120mm ones?

Yeah two 120mm ones.

I haven't a clue how well it would run passive, so I would have a couple of fans to hand.

what do you mean by passive? without the two fans? im hoping to have an antec P182 case to house it in and if not (due to money issues)and i have to go cheaper an alaska zen (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-021-AK&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=507) will that be big enough to hold it?

oh and will somthing like these fans be okay?

Yip passive means without fans.

Personally I've idea which fans and no idea if it will fit the Zen either. Tho I'm sure someone else will have.
