Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew any good compatible CPU heatsinks/fans that would fit on this Biostarr motherboard. Usually this would be straightforward as it has an 1155 socket, but the motherboard has 2 rows of capacitors around the socket that seem to limit bracket style. I already tried a ZALMAN CNPS10X OPTIMA which I thought would fit but didnt.

OKay, If the Cooler is sitting over the Caps, that isn't an issue. I had one that was over top of the first DIMM slot. In my last build, before I upgraded, I was using the ASUS P8Z68 - Vpro Motherboard and had the Zalman CNPS 10x Performa. When I put the fan on, it was over the first DIMM slot. There was no problem with the two heat sinks up there. I went to a Gelid Tranquillo which is a bot smaller, but cools well.
