    What CPU fan on A8N-SLI Premium

    Hi guys,

    I am building a PC for a friend and i was just wondering what CPU fan can fit on a A8N-SLI Premium because I can't tell how big that heatpipe is on the mainboard and i have read reviews that certain CPU heatsinks/fans don't fit.
    I'm putting a AMD64 x2 3800+ on the board and would like to OC it.
    So far i've shortlisted these fans, will they fit and which one do you think offers the best cooling?

    Hi Monkee

    To be honest, the stock AMD Heatsink and fan you get with the X2 Processor should be enough. The fan sits on a pretty hefty heatsink with copper heatpipes included. I personally wouldn't go with any fancy cooler as the AMD one should suffice for overclocking aswell (It has done for us). If you want to overclock it's a*se off then I'd suggest Water Cooling or even try the new Phase Change cooling system OCZ have just released.
