What heatsink for Asus p5w?

[quochuy7]

Hey,

I was wondering what heatsink I should get for this motherboard (asus p5w dh deluxe) that will fit and perform the best?

I was looking at the ninja rev. B, but seems like theres trouble putting it into the board, but heard its worth it? but I have no idea if it fits.

Oh yes, i have an antec P180 case

Why do you need a heatsink? Are you overclocking or something?

Indeeed I am.

I've got a Scythe Infinity on mine, and love it.

It is really big and heavy though. Not too hard to get on, I managed it with a cast on one arm

Cools well too, 23ºC idle, 32-34ºC load with a 15ºC ambient temp. C2D E6600 @ 2.8.

The case itself could play a factor in which hsf you use but the current best hsf is the Tuniq Tower 120. The Scythe products, Big Typhoon, 9500, and 9700 all fit it as well.
