Ok so I finally bought a nice big aftermarket HS, I bought the scythe ninja tower. I measured and made sure it would fit. Once I went to install it however its heatpipes kept hitting my MOBO's heat pipes.( I have a ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition board. ) *edit its an AM2 board

So My question is this. Does anyone have my board that recommend me a good after market Heat sink? With or without fan. I am looking at the Thermaltake v1 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 835106102R

The zalman 9500 AM2 version is the one I'm looking at for my build (also looking at the M2N32 mobo and if you google the two you'll see they fit together). From the reviews, its pretty decent at cooling and really good at keeping things quiet.

Yes, Zalman 9500 would be a good choise! I have the same  MoBo Asus M2N32 SLI Deluxe and I am having Zalman 7500. It is a little bit cheaper, but does a good job. Recommend

If space is the problem,I recommend another heatsink like the ones suggested above.However,I have found the stock HSF that came with my CPU is quite adequit for cooling.Unless of course I want to start overclocking.But then my choice will be liquid cooling.Goodluck.
