Looking for a cpu heatsink! Any recomendations that fit this board?

The coolers that need bolt-thru mount kits don't seem to be an option.

I purchased the cooler master V8 and it won't work for me. I rather not potentially damage the board.

evongugg,

Findings a socket b cooler is easy and that is how i ended up buyoing the cooler master v8. But you overlooked the detail regarding the 8XDAH= motherboard. It doesn't take heatsinks that are bolt thru mounted. At least not w/o physically damaging the mobo.

I'm looking for a suggestion for a heatsink that cools extremely well a w5590 cpu that does not need bolt-thru mounting. I'm trying to avoid buying a heatsink over the net to find out that it won't work on my mobo even though its made for socket B which I already did once

I just needed to use M3 screws provided by the Coolermaster 1000 case to fasten the coolermaster V8 heatsink on the X8DAH+ motherboard. I don't recommend the Coolermaster V8 in the Coolermaster 1000 case. Too uncomfortable to install.
