Hi guys, I am currently in the market for a good aftermarket cooler with 1 fan. I cant use two fans since my mobo will only allow 1 cpu fan to be allowed. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks. My specs : CM Storm Enforcer, Biostar TZ77B Mobo, Intel I5-3570k 3.4, Stock intel cpu cooler, Sapphire 7870 Ghz OC, Corsair Vengeance 8g, Seagate barracuda 1TB, WD Velociraptor 300g, Corsair tx 650w

If you want more than one CPU fan, get whats called a 'PWM splitter'

A nice 1 fan CPU cooler is the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo

Yes the Hyper Evo is really good but it looks like it is going to interfere with my memory slots and my top 200mm fan. I was leaning more towards a Gemini since it seems to only use one fan and even maybe a water cooler. Just not sure which one to choose. Anything less than $70 would be my budget.

Oh yes thanks for the advice, will look into those PWM Splitters. Other than the Hyper Evo, are there any good horizontal oriented heatsinks?

Ok guys thanks for all the advice, I decided to get the hyper evo and will arrive this wednesday (Yay!). Im worried it might not fit in my pc and heard the installation was super difficult. Anyone know if it will fit? I only have one 8g vengeance stick (high fins) and im not sure if it will interfere with the cooler. Thanks again all!

Thank you very much for all the advice guys. Do appreciate it. Now im deciding between an ASrock extreme 4 and a Gigabyte Z77 UD3H since my biostar tz77b had its pins bent by a ghost...

Yeah I just ordered a Gigabyte UD3H Z77. It was only $5 more than the Asrock X4 . I hope I made a good choice. Thanks again for your replies
