Default Need a New Air Cooler For 8400/Maximus Board

Apparently some genius (and I use that term VERY loosely) thought it was ok to use some of my computer components as if they were toys. So now I have a useless Zalman 9500 CPU cooler and a scrap video card (which I'll get to in another post). What I need to know is what would the best cooler be that will fit my Maximus Formula motherboard?



E8400 @ 3.2Ghz
Asus Maximus Formula
4GB OCZ Platinum PC-6400
EVGA Akimbo 8800GT - 1024MB
WD Caviar SE 320GB 16MB
Seagate Barracuda 320GB 16MB
Antec 900 Case
OCZ GameXstream 600w
XP Pro
Logitech z-5300e 5.1

there is a pretty good number of decent coolers out there, check out some of the reviews we have done recently and pick the one that suits you... I myself love this Tt Big Typhoon...







Thanks HL and Corsair!

+2 for the Big Typhoon ... I've used a bunch ... the Gemini 2 is a little better ... but not for the size and hassle.

This one is very nice and cheap if you only want a moderate overclock ... good deal for the money.
Uses "Direct Touch" heat pipes and does so nicely ... I have used it on several overclocks and it was close to the Typhoon for performance ... just a few degrees off. Super easy Mounting.
