CPU fan for DK X38-T2RB

[aberchonbie]

I currently have an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro on it BACKWARDS (hot air blowing to the front) b/c it didn't fit the correct way (hot air blowing to the rear).

I want to get a cooler that performs better than the AC 7 Pro because my case is HOTTTT.. (2 ati 4850's in Crossfire = furnace).

I want to minimize the amount of hot air in my system.

So what fans do you guys have on your MB's?

I have a cheap case. Thermaltake M9.

However, I have three HD's in the hard drive cage.

For those interested, I bought a new fan.

Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer.

This heatsink/fan combo will ONLY fit installed with the air blowing upwards. (installing it with the air being pushed to the rear will be impossible because the mounting system is blocked by the MOSFET/NB heatsinks on the mobo)

Also, I had to bend some fins on a set of the MOSFET heatsinks.

When installing, you must install the side where you bent the MOSFET heatsink fins FIRST and THEN install the other mount.

A bit of work (If you want your mobo in pristine condition, it will NOT fit).

Also, it fits inside an Antec 1200 case with the side door 120mm fan installed.
