Hi guys,
I have the above motherboard and a CPU but no CPU sink. Which sink do you recommend? Nothing fancy just a functional one.
Thanks

WELCOME TO PURE OC. I am sure Ddeth. jimbo. He is the Motherboard guru hear.He will have a answer for you.
Thanks. I am struggling to find a suitable CPU sink that will fit this motherboard. The normal ones seems too small, it needs a wider one but I am not sure which one. Hopefully someone with this motherboard can advice. thanks

Hey Georges,
Welcome to PureOC!Will you be overclocking? What CPU do you have? Take a look at the Noctua NH-U12p SE2, it a damn good cooler and fairly cheap.

Hello and thanks. I will not be overclocking. The tag on the CPU says intel@ Xeon and the aforementioned motherboard of course. Will it fit? in the UK it is about £56. Affordable :-)
Actually come think of it. the manual for the motherboard does not mention XEON. It fits perfectly though.

Guys, he is not overclocking. Get the Coolermaster Hyper 212+. You can get it between $20-30 and it does a great job for an inexpensive cooler.
