What is the best CPU Cooler that fits on this MARS mobo ?

I need a real good one but also I don't like it too big because my case is rather small .

I also don't like modifying any part of the mobo , so I need a cooler that would fit perfectly as is

the THERMALTAKE I1 works for me

the THERMALTAKE I1 works for me

Thank you for your reply

Is there any better choices ?

I have my eyes on OCZ Vendetta 2 but I fear incompatibilities

Are there any Problems with the Ram Splitter that are know?

I just can't get it stable at the 1:1 splitter, no matter which frequencies I'm running at. All the other Splitters are workinf fine

For example: I can get the Ram running at 2:3 with 600Mhz @ 2.1V, but I get Bluescreens with the 1:1 as soon as I hit the 500.

I tried to give some more voltage to the NB and the FSB, but it won't work at all. The Pre-owner had 540Mhz FSb stable, without any issues, but he never had to work with the 1:1 splitter!

OOOO ya thier are at least 10 better cooler's out thier
even the new cheap touching heat pipe coolers do better ppl say.........

eye picked it for it size & 4 heat pipes & cheap 2 years ago
but the TRUE (thermalright 120 extreme) was 90 bucks back then

todat it can be had for 50~70 bucks & it probly the best for air cooling if you have the room
