Hi Looks like you will be OK with the Scythe Mugen II

on that motherboard. I found this thread where some

people are using it.

it doesn't matter i opted to upgrade to the FX style mobo anyway (MSI brand dont have a link ATM)

[QUOTE="SLIisaownsystem"]

yes i prefer noctua over scythe, you pay maybe a bit more but the support and quality is really better.

I am not whining i talk about experience. I ordered by my self a Mugen 2.. and this junk destroyed my mobo. I had to replace the backplate but the mobo broke. I was really pi**ed off. On my Noctua NH-C12P i dont had to. You just have to place the new blcackplate over the old. Maybe Mugen 2 isnt well for 1366 but i really hate this cooler.

[QUOTE="Jdbucc"] is there anything other than nvidia and intel that you do likeferret-gamer

While the Scythe Mugen - 2 is difficult to get on without additional hands (or perhaps a creative mind, I figured out how to do it rather easily by myself before), I think it's an incredible cooler personally. I have applied 3 times, and have had no problems.

on a related note how does this compare since its on sale for dirt cheap right now
