I need help finding a heatsink and fan for an upcoming build. This is my planned motherboard, processor, and case:

phenom ii 4x 955 be

Asus mobo

antec 900 case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811129021

i'm not sure how much overclocking i'll be doing, but i would like a heatsink and fan that's pretty good, and 100% fits the other parts, no guess work required :]

thanks for any help and info!

the stock heatsink is actually pretty good, if you dont intend to OC to more than about 3.6ish you should be fine with the stock one. If you want to OC higher the mugen II will be good.

You will need to remove the original AMD h/s bracket and install this one while the mobo is outside of the case, and you will need a screwdriver, but all in all, it shouldn't be too bad.
