    help me pick a cooler, should i go h50 or something different.

    the mugen is not 1156 compatible but it is 775 compatible which means it should also work with 1156 expecially since my board has the holes for both is that correct?

    help me pick a cooler, should i go h50 or something different.

    there was never a want to do water cooling. but that particular system is low profile and would allow me to use my side case fans where these coolers that are over 5.5 inches tall then will not allow me to do that.

    the v8 gets smashed by the mega though or so they say. which comparing the h50 to the v8 is silly becuase they say the h50 is way better than the domino which is better than the v8 so much for reviews right. lol
