Hi Everyone, this is my first post so tolerate the nuisance that I am.
I am in the midddle of purchasing a System Build with an i5-2500k and the Asus Sabertooth P67, but with the CM 212+, a non-topdown cooler. Is an assist fan necessary or should I replace the Cooler with a top-down one? Will temps (+OCing) be a bit dangerous without an assist fan?
Also, during my correspondence with their assembly dept., the last ref 6950 died during testing of the build. The only available GPU in that price range is a 6950 that doesn't have a Dual BIOS, but from what I read a superior cooling system.
I can't find an alternative. Should I accept it?

Also, I've been reading through the 'Bulldozer' threads in CPU and overclocking section and found the info a bit tricky to assimilate. I've read a few microprocessor books but they feel a bit superficial. Can anyone please recommend some in-depth books on CPUs?
