    The best CPU cooler for an SG07 with an Asus P8H67-I

    I thought I'd turn my investigations above re: the differences between the i5 and i7 into a blog post.. Check it out over here: http://www.thegeeklynews.com/2011/07/the-myth-of-hyper-threading-and-the-intel-i7-cpu/

    The best CPU cooler for an SG07 with an Asus P8H67-I

    So I've been looking at the differences between the i5-2500k and the i7-2600k and frankly, I can't see the benefit of going with the i7. For those interested, Tom's did a rundown of the benefits of Hyperthreading (the only real difference except for 2MB more cache and 100mhz more chip speed)...

    Check out the sister thread that's running right now that I started right here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1620148&page=2 It answers a lot of these questions. To summarize, the cpu coolers that definitely WILL fit are: Prolimatech Samuel 17 (there's pics) Thermalright AXP-140...

    The best CPU cooler for an SG07 with an Asus P8H67-I

    This is good info, especially about the fan you're using. So, the decision was made for me - the Samuel 17 went on sale for today only at ++++, which was the only place I could get it. So it went down to $45 for me, shipped, including tax. So thats about $20 less than the AXP and I know it'll...

    The best CPU cooler for an SG07 with an Asus P8H67-I

    Thanks everyone for the input and photos. So from all of this, here's my consensus. The AXP-140 will fit, but is likely to be so close to the GPU that it might touch. I can get it shipped for $61 + tax. However, if it doesn't fit, I'll be paying shipping to return it plus a 15% restocking fee...

    The best CPU cooler for an SG07 with an Asus P8H67-I

    I think I'm going to end up with the Samuel 17. It works out to be the same price as the AXP-140 (~$60) after a decent fan - but I like that I'll be able to try several fans before making a decision without extra cost, whereas on the AXP, it'll cost me if I swap that fan out. Plus, I like that I...

    Wow, those photos are fantastic! Thanks DesertCat & Mousemagician!! This, however, actually makes my decision more difficult. Heh. But I asked for it!

    The best CPU cooler for an SG07 with an Asus P8H67-I

    ivyelion, do you have this board and cooler? Are you saying you're sure it fits? I suspected it might (as would the Nexus, Vortex Pro) as they are all asymmetric designs. They are shorter from the sink to the pipes' edge than on the others... so I assume if you put it on chip with the pipes on...

    The best CPU cooler for an SG07 with an Asus P8H67-I

    Yeah, that's the issue with almost all of these. I've seen the Kozuti on the board (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1037333969) so that's the only one I know for sure works. But I just discovered the Cooler Master Geminii S which looks like it cools great and MIGHT even fit. So I...

    I didn't realize I was helping someone else... but hey, no problem! I've updated the list with prices - wow, I didn't realize the Nexus was so expensive up here!! Ouch.
