I'm looking for a new fan to replace the one that came with my CPU. That one has become balky, refusing to start without a little shove from my finger. I plan to do a little checking to make sure it's the fan and not the mobo doing that, but I suspect the fan.
The problem I see is that my board has very little space for the cpu cooler. I have Corsair Dominator ram which is very close on one side and sticks up quite high, the power supply on another side very close to the cpu, a case exhaust fan on the other side and the northbridge heat sink on the other.
I'm looking at the Cooler Master TX3 mostly because it looks like it will fit in that confined space. Most of the bigger, more exotic coolers I see just don't look like they will fit.
I'd like to hear from others with experience fitting a fan to this mobo.
