First off I am new to the PC building game and am really excited on starting. I plan on building a PC using the 650i board and was wondering if I could get some suggestion for some heatsinks for the CPU and NB. I have browsed the unofficial thread for this board here and it seems that a heatsink is a must for the NB if you plan to OC. The other key components I will have in this build are:

CPU: E6600
GPU: 8800 GTX
CASE: Antec P180 Innovative
PSU: SEASONIC S12 600W

I?m looking for a heatsinks that are relatively inexpensive, quiet and require no modification. I have never mounted one of these before so would like it to be easy to install. Please let me know if I require any other type of cooling. I would like to OC (would be my first time) to around 1600/400 so I could use DDR2 800 RAM.

Thanks for the suggestions

Based off of what I've gleamed from various topics on the motherboard, the most popular NB cooling options seem to be either a Vantec Iceberq 1, with it's extra heatsink for use on the SB, or a Thermalright HR-05 SLI w/ a short cheapo heatsink for the SB.

Thanks Tyrant I'll look those up. Any suggestions for CPU heatskink with this board. I don't want to do any modding.

Sunbeam Silent Whisper 775. Could use some polish on the base, but it's done well for me so far (E6300).
