What air cooling would you use for an FX-60 that MAY have a mild (200mhZ) O/C? It will be in a Thermaltake Armor case with a top vent w/90mm fan, a 120mm fan in front, a 120 mm exhaust and 1 more 90mm in back. Or should I watercool?
 
Zalman CNPS 9500 or a Thermaltake Big Typhoon. I'm assuming that you're talking about HSF.
 
I looked at the big typhoon stats, and it has a lower CFM than the Blue Orb I posted. I think you should go with the Blue Orb.

CFM isnt everything. The BT has 6 heatpipes -the orb, none. If you read some reviews you'll see the BT beats the orb.
 
You will love the Big Typhoon, but it lives by its name, its HUGE!

It will fit in your case no bother though.

Not to mention im sure the orb is louder. Cause you have to stop breathing to hear my computer. lol
 
What I am beginning to get concerned about is the overhang on the memory side of the cooler. If you look at a pic of the A8N32-SLI Deluxe, the memory slots are very close to the CPU area. The memory I am getting, Corsair TWINX20483500LLPRO, is much taller than normal RAM.

So if anybody is using this configuration or has suggestions as to find out if it will work, please respond.

Thanks.
