I've looked at a million sites for what cooler to use and I have come up with two that I'm thinking about going with but maybe one won't work with my setup or there is a better air cooling solution.

1-Will either be too heavy for the board?2-Case Fit?3-Memory Fit Issue?
You shouldnt have aproblem with memory fit/ to heavy But you will need to measure yourself if it will fit in the case.
I see that you use the core contact freezer would you recommend that over my two choices?
^ yes i would, it gives the most bang for the buck. But if you dont mind the cost i would go for the megahalem. I just answerd this question like 10 seconds ago...LOL check it out: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] megahalems
I will copy/paste my exact answer from that ^ thread: Yes the megahalem is better but the CCF is alot better bang for the buck and you will only see 1-2c difference. And there is a number of mods that you can do to the CCF that will lower the temps about 8 degrees.
What mods I'm all over the cheaper for about the same performance.
Whew... there are quite a few mods. 1. Lapp your heatsink and your cooler.(this will drop the temps alot) 2. Make a "cover" over the heatsink to direct the airflow from the fan so it goes through the heatsink and not out the sides. 3. Add i fan on the other side.
Couldn't I do the same an obtain better results on the Megahelm?
