[brajesh143]

i wanna overclock my phenom 955 to 4 ghz planning to get coolermaster hyper 212 evo will it fit in my asus m3n78-em motherboard ? Also will it damage its vrm cause i have heard that this cooler reduces airflow to the vrm ??

Yes it will, no problem there : )

Its more about the RAM. Do u have low profile?

Like this one? No problem than.

will it damage my vrm ??

 

[brajesh143]

yep very low profile without heatsinks !!

 

[nikorr]

will it damage my vrm ??

No, it will not damage anything : )

It should be perfect fit!

i was initially thinking about getting a new asus motherboard with amd 770 chipset and ddr3 is it a worthy upgrade from my current setup for only gaming ??

Well it depends how much improvement would u want.

Make no sense to spend money to get a little, because the final result will be disappointing, as it would not improve that much.

Spend $400+ more and it would definitely be visible, that difference.

DDR3 would not improve all that much. I would stay or invest in the IB+Z77

This would be it @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.910365

But, if u like what u got, stay there : ))

No need to spend more, because the will be always something faster.
