if you want the best cooling then the thermalright ultra 120 is the ultimate around £30 - 38 and it requires you buy a 12cm but if you want the best cooling then thats the one for you.

Another quickie...

Is there a motherboard that is the equivalent of the Asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP, which seems to be held in high regards by just about everyone, without the WiFi and with SLI & not Crossfire?

For the wifi I cannot see the point of this as my wireless router is about 2 feet away from the PC and a cabe is much quicker / more stable.

As for SLI, even though I said I wouldn't do it, I would rather have the option of SLI than Crossfire as I'm more likely to buy an nvidia card the an ATI one.

Something like the Asus Crosshair or Striker?
Thats just off the top of my head.

I meant for less money! I don't really want to pay for wifi on a mobo as I wont use it.

Well SLI boards are expensive... generally...
To be honest, don't use SLI or Crossfire... By the time you buy two cards, you might aswell just get a better model.

Theres plenty of standard P5B boards out there.

Does that mean that all P5B boards are the same and the rest is just bells and whistles?
