Abit IC7-MAX3 CPU Cooler?

[demerzel]

First post... be kind...

I recently purchased Abit's i875 offering, and I'm in need of a high-performance CPU cooler, as the stock HSF just doesn't cut it. Unfortunately, due to the HOTAS cooling system on the board, room for an after-market HSF is extremely limited.

I'm looking for recommendations on what options I have... what are the best choices among HSFs that will actually FIT? My only concern is cooling performance, price and noise is not really a factor.

Thanks!

Go here to the official Abit Forums for Intel boards

They should be able to tell you what will work. I have an IC7-G Max II, so I can't really tell ya.

SP-94 will work.

SP-94 coupled with a high output fan would be your best bet

Another recommendation for the Zalman 7000. Nice and quiet.
