    Chipset Coolers

    Just picked up a DFI P35-T2RL and i'm wondering which chipset coolers you guys would recommend. I'm got a spare HR-05 SLI, but i'm not sure if its a good option for this board, considering the layout. Suggestions on NB, SB, and Chipset are appreciated ^_^ (No i'm not just a lazy ass, its just alot of companies, Enzotech for example, don't list compatibilities )

    Yea i'm thinking of getting one of the Enzo's for the SB (Overkill ftw) and using the HR-05 SLI for the NB, I think I can make it fit if I turn it towards the rear of the case.

    I was thinking of doing the same thing on mine eventually, I hate the heatpipe deal they put on most motherboards now.

    Yea. I'm still pretty annoyed by DFI's idea of a joke "Don't remove this sticker or we won't RMA your " ...lol?

    I've been using Tt Extreme Spirit IIs. They'll fit just about any board, and are pretty good coolers. I've got about 3 of them that use on whatever boards I'm not using in my main rig, as that gets the MCW30.
