Just ordered an IP35 pro, I already have the Antec 900 case. I also ordered an EVGA 8800GTS and there will be 2 Raptors and a seagate in there. I DO intend to overclock to whatever will be easily done with air-cooling. My cpu is still up in the air but it will be a C2D of some type (e4300 or e4400 most likely) and then a quad about 6 months from now.You guys have any particulars on cpu coolers? I'm at least 2 years out of date on keeping up with the latest tech.
 
Thermalright Ultra 120 combo'd with a 120 MM fan seems to be leading the pack atm. Might want to do some research to see it if will fit in the case. It should but just to be safe. Get some artic silver thermal compound also.
 
Can't go wrong with the Ultra-120 or Ultra-120 Extreme coupled with a low-noise 120mm fan like a Loon or an S-flex.
 
I just put my 900 and IP-35 Pro together last night, and I've been wondering the same thing!

I've done some research, and I believe that both the Tuniq Tower and the Thermalrights mentioned above will fit -- now it's just a matter of deciding between the two.
 
Anyone know if the Zalman 9700 fits an IP35 Pro? The proprietary fans on Zalman stuff has always scared me away from them though.The Thermalrights seem to need lapping more times than not according to the buyer feedback at Newegg but I really like the design. Choices, choices, hard to decide.

I know a lot of folks have IP35s so I'll go look through threads in the mobo section and see what people are using.

Ultima-90! You can't go wrong with this cooler. Just get a good 120mm fan to go with it (Scythe is what I'd get for CFM in retrospect, but I ended up with a Noctua to keep my rig nice and quiet);
