[benum007]

GDay to all,
I have a few questions doing a new build this weekend (got almost everything already)

Build : 2500K (OC to approx 4ghz)
asRock Extreme4 Z68/1155 mobo

Any suggestions on some CPU coolers gonna be buying from http://www.canadacomputers.com/
And am I right that socket 1156 coolers will be fine on a socket 1155???

Any suggestions are much appreciated (Budget approx $50)

Thanks

Joe

Very Quite..if you feel like the Price is too high

go for the Cooler Master V8

Arctic Freezer 7 or 13, or Hyper 212+ all 3 are nice budget coolers with great ratings. Note: Check your case size as these heat sinks are quite tall (up to 16cm for the Hyper 212+)

i'll say it again, the cooler master is the best price/performance cooler. it could probably handle overclocks like 4.4ghz or even more.

i have one and my phenom x6 1055t at 3.6ghz doesn't go over 45C while running prime95.

I tried a Coolermaster Hyper TX3 on my 1155 board. The push pins would not hold the cooler on th cpu. Everytime I set the case in an upright position the cooler fell off of the board. I am exchanging the cooler for something that uses screws for mounting. Also note that makers of large high rise coolers recommend removing the cooler before transporting your computer to prevent damage to the mother board.
