I need to know what coolers will FOR SURE fit the P8P67 WS revolution.

I am using my old ninja to get me buy for now, but its not made for 1155. Idle temps are in the 50's acording to the BIOS. Although the ASUS sensor software says its only 32 C which I dont believe for a second.

I need a recommendation from someone who knows which cooler will fit this board. :up:

Your temps are right, my 2500K idles at 31C at a 27C ambient temperature.

When I turn on Prime95m, my cpu temps hit 80's within about 10 seconds. Obviously my ninja cannot stand the heat. Its was never made for quadcore let alone 1155. The fins are touching the VRM heatsink and it may not even be sitting flush.

I have heard rumors that the Prolimatech Megahalems, CM Hyper 212+ and CM V8 will all fit my board. What other options will fit my board and cool well.

I'd go for the Megalems if you can afford it and get some nice, semi-silent fans to go with it. If you want the best bang-for-the-buck the Hyper 212+ is hard to beat tough.

Ohh yea the other thing that makes me doubt the temp: it says CPU is 32C yet the mobo is 36C. I have never seen a mobo hotter then a cpu. :shrug:

Little_Scraper just so you know that my board is actually warmer than my CPU under full load according to my sensors.
