But that looks good, thanks!!

thats better mate!! thanks a lot and way under £500!

stulid · 12 Jul 2010 at 16:49

you may want an aftermarket cooler, if you want some peace and quiet?

Camoe · 12 Jul 2010 at 16:51

i have a sythe ninga, could i get a AM3 Bracket for that?

stulid · 12 Jul 2010 at 16:52

am2/am2+/am3 are all the same, does it support the first two?

Camoe · 12 Jul 2010 at 17:29

it does, just i dont have the AM2 Bracket anymore

stulid · 12 Jul 2010 at 17:34

stick the cooler you have with all the brackets you still got, onto the members market, someone will take it.

Camoe · 12 Jul 2010 at 17:52

thats a good idea, i only have the 775 bracket :thouh

stulid · 12 Jul 2010 at 17:56
