    OCZ dedicated memory cooling
    I've had both the OCZ & the corsir domibator cooler. The OCZ is imo mobo jewlerry, pretty but does nowt. The Corsair by comparison:-
    1) easier to fit & remove
    2) Far better cooling.

    I bought the ocz originally thinking 2x45mm fans would be quiter & more effective than the 3x60mm on the corsair, but sadly it ain't so.

    Luck with build

    But there is still a decent future already . . . Even if the socket changed tomorrow, he could still buy something like an E6320 now, and then there is always going to be atleast the QX6800.
