what is the best fan heat sink for this motherboard
792789
Any standard heat sink will work for it. I just transferred my stock Dell heat sink. I usually don't worry about what heat sink I'm using until I upgrade the processor. The board went in my back up pc that has a FX 4130.

http://noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products;_id=41&lng;=en If you are wanting to put a high end AMD FX CPU then this fan will fit most cases. ( NH-D14) by Nocuta. You just can't beat Noctua fans. To heck with water, it is too risky and costly, and these fans are more silent than a ninja.

Ya, seems to be standard for this chip I purchased a larger heatsink for it as well as changed fan speeds to keep it a little lower. Doesn't change the temp much but works well for extended use.

Yes. Best thermal compound for all CPU and heatsinks. Heat transfer is super great.

I second Gonzo's & Greg's assessment. Use the NF-F12 for a heatsink. I used the NF-S12A PWM for a case fan. For my CPU heatsink, I have the Noctua-NH-U14S which comes with one NF-A15 PWM fan. Then purchased a second NF-A15 PWM for my push-pull setup on the heatsink.

Fractal Design makes some pretty good stock fans. I'm using the ones included in my rig, if that helps. I also have a Fractal Design Arc XL that I use Fractal's fans with.

Yes you should be able to use noctua's nh-u14s heat sink. Just make and double check if your case can house it, because it's a massive heat sink. Some case don't support it. Here's a link to noctua's website for further assistance. http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=64&lng=en

I assume you are asking about CPU fans, I had a 2U case so I bought the intel CPU fan.the model is BXSTS200C.

the stock heat sink that comes with this cpu is JUNK throw it away and buy something like a cooler master hyper 212 EVO this heat sink will keep your cpu much cooler

I used the stock intel fan cooler that came with my E6300 when I replaced it with the E8600. No problems with overheating and I do not anticipate any. Hope this helps.

Get a good case with good air flow. At least 6 fans. I have no issues with heat whatsoever.

It does include a stock intel fan/heatsink. The stock cooling solution is not fancy, but particularly for the i7-4770S (65W SKU), it seems to be perfectly adequate. It's much better than Intel stock heatsinks were back in the P4 days, and is almost silent, even under load. That will obviously depend on ambient temperatures and what else is going on in your machine (and just how silent you consider "silent"), so I'm not saying that you will never want some upgraded cooling solution, but I'd say that the stock cooler is likely to be the right choice for the majority of people.

Heat sinks dont really mater as long as it is compatible with your mother board and you can mount it to your mother board

Pretty much any fan controller that is front/5.25 mountable should be fine but i don't have a controller in mine, i just let the motherboard handle the system fans, and my Corsair H80i has its own internal controller. Something like this would be fine: Kingwin Multi-Function LCD Fan Controller Panel Cooling FPX-003

Max temp on this processor is 62c, for a longer lasting lifespan you don't want it above 58c under full load, I thought you should know this so you can make a fair judgement. The stock heatsink is not going to OC and keep you in that temp range under full load. The coolermaster hyper 212 is an excellent low cost replacement, I personally use a zalman 9900max but its a bit pricey for air cooling. When you OC this chip it can pull up to and a bit over 300 watts on 12v. Save your components the stress and spend a bit for a hyper 212

In my experience, the heatsink gets too hot to touch, so I would be wary of improper airflow.

I actually had mine in a pretty small, mini-itx build. It stayed reasonably cool during most day-to-day operations with the stock fan, between 35C and 50C--and that's without any other case fans. As long as you aren't doing anything too CPU-intensive, I'd consider the stock fan pretty adequate. Good luck with you build

i already had a fan, but they have plenty on amazon to do the job.make sure you get the arctic silver thermal paste too. this will keep theamd running cooler.
