Hi all - couple questions. I am expecting to build a SB based system with either 2500k or 2600k and a CM 690ii case.
I notice that MC will have the CM Hyper 212+ on BF sale for less than 20 which seems a great price.
Questions:
1) will I have any issues putting 212+ in the CM 690 ii?
2) will it even be necessary to have a cooler and do some light to medium OC-ing of SB? Or can I get by with the stock cooler and do a little OCing? I realize that nobody actually has the SB chip yet, but was more looking for your predictions based on the 95W TDP dynamics.
Even though its a good price, I might talk myself out of it based on (i) taxes (ii) drive to Microcenter costs gas and time and (iii) maybe I should wait and see if the stock cooler can allow me to do some OCing.
