Hello, I have a question about the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3 motherboard.
Does anyone own and/or know this motherboard model? If so, what type of CPU cooler can I use? Do 120/140mm fans fit? The chipset is very close to the processor.
Additionally, I have RAM that has quite a large heatsink, and the placement of my GPU is rather high, so I'm afraid that a 120/140mm model won't fit :/
What type of cooler do you recommend for decent overclocking? The Q6600 currently runs at 46° at idle but can reach almost 70° after several hours of gaming.
Config:
MB: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3
CPU: Intel Core(TM) 2 Quad Q6600
RAM: OCZ DDRII 3 x 1GB PC8500 Reaper Edition
PSU: Corsair HX - 620W
GPU: Gainward Radeon(TM) HD 4870 512MB Golden Sample Edition
All in a case: NZXT Tempest
Looking forward to your responses
Best regards
