    Can somebody reccomend the best heatsink/fan/cooling solution to work with the Sandy Bridge E processor? Looking to buy from newegg. Thanks in advance.

    I use the Corsair H series water coolers on all 7 of my systems. Easy to install, quiet, and small footprint in the case. You can actually install ram without scraping the skin off your fingers on some heatsink cooling fins.

    Also keeps the cpu cooler if you like to overclock.

        Just make sure you check the back of your case to make sure you have adequate space to rig the radiator -- depending on which model you get.

        I don't have the big model. The smaller one does a great job.

            I look at it this way...anyone that uses a giant heatsink cooler is a sucker.

              Yeah looking at the big model and this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129100

              Not sure if it will fit, it should?

                That's the case I use for my main workstation. The big one should fit, because there's 2 fan spots on the upper back.

                I love that case because you can park a car inside of it. Lots of room to build with no yelling "fuck!" every 5 seconds. It's really heavy though. It's like the Tiger Tank of computer cases.
