The problem is that I want to get the MSI Neo2 Platinum (xp-120 is not compatible with that) instead of the ASUS A8V Deluxe (xp-120 IS compatible with this guy). I heard the MSI board is the best overclocker but I read on thermalrights compatibility charts that it was not compatible with the MSI board. Should I go with the MSI board and get a Hyper 6 or get the ASUS board with the xp-120.

Thanks.

I've read where people have used it with the MSI. Probably have to bend a few capacitors.

Does anyone have a link to a site which explains how to do it. I tried googling, but nothing came up :(

Thanks.

the hyper 6 is supposed to be hella awesome cooling, even better than some water cooling kits out there, but it is heavy as hell and pretty loud on full setting

it's loud period. if you want quiet computing, you WILL have to change the fan(s). the fan that comes with the hsf is horribly loud. just google it up and you'll see. :)
