Re: MY MoBo Died or I Killed it
That cooler looks the business.. I use a Scythe Samurai on mine as originally the case I was using wasn't very wide. Here's a picture I found of one:



For everyday use it's great even with a 3.2GHz chip but for heavy overclocking it's not really suitable.

Just to add, for the chipset or Northbridge, the orginal heatsink wasn't really cutting it especially once I got the Black Edition... So I invested in a Noctua which does the job very well..



Mind you, just to make sure I added a fan....
