Cristy, I've had a look at the heatsink/fan offerings you've been, well, offered. My pick would be the "Thermaltake MaxOrb CPU Cooling Fan System Kit". It'll save you $18 compared to the water kit parts you originally chose and it will be both quiet and efficient at pulling heat away from both the CPU (it's primary job) as well as the chipset (a wonderful benefit of its design). It's a rather large beast that will do the job much better than the stock sink/fan kit. As an added bonus, it'll give off a soft, blue glow when the system is running. More eye candy for those fancy side windows! ;) Peace, Gman http://www.bornagainamerican.org "The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask" --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
