CPU cooler that fits LGA 1366 for Cheap

[Billy_Mays]

Im getting an i7 920+mobo tonight for $40 CAD but I dont have a cooler that'll fit without zipties so what cooler would work with the i7 920 on the budget and would the ziptie method work with an M9A?

There are a lot of coolers that fit 1366, like the hyper 212+ and 212 evo coolers. I used to use a megahalems on my 920, but it's incredibly large and wont fit every case.

 

To be honest, almost any larger cooler will work with 1366, most of them have universal mounting brackets that can adjust to fit that larger socket, especially if they fit 1155/1156.

I know, Im probably getting a Hyper 212 LED since $33 CAD to my door without rebate

Sounds like a good choice, for about $75 total that's a good base for a nice system. Do you already have ddr3? Remember it supports triple channel memory so you'd be best running a multiple of 3 dims.

I have 4 total dimms but two of them are in my brothers rigs, and for my rig the total comes out to $350 CAD I think
