As a successful first-time builder, I'm proud to say my machine got to working without any software issues. I am using the stock cooler that comes with the Phenom II x4 965 BE.
I'm looking to overclock this badboy, but I need a proper aftermarket cooler. Looking at price to performance and popularity, I've been looking at the Hyper Evo 212. It requires me to take my motherboard out and install the metal base... But I'm way too afraid to pull everything back out now (especially with the PSU 24 pin connector being totally hard to pull out or push in without applying unecessarily tremendous amounts of force on the motherboard), and I'm sure my warranty for the mb does not cover physical damage.
Would someone please recommend a cooler for an AM3 socket that takes advantage of the stock clasp mechanism that usually comes with the motherboard rather than installing an entire new base plate?
Thanks much in advance.
