I cannot use the pushpins. One of the pushpin metal arm hit the oversized CPU-holding mechanism on my LGA775 mobo. I didn't realize this at first, so I forced it in, which caused a big bulge on the back of the mobo. For reference, the stock cooler is better designed and will fit easily. I heard...

Thanks for the responses. The weight worried me because of the tower case. Those huge coolers look scary. Good thing I always use Intel processors... pretending AMD never exists.

I wonder if the marketshare is really that big. It's so easy to get a mobo with PCIe nowadays.

I've read somewhere that CPU (or maybe elsewhere) cooler can be too heavy and this can have negative effects. Is this really true? This could be a drawback to copper cooler?

I need help getting a new UPS, like which brands are good and which features are necessary etc. Also, why is UPS not on the drop-down list in review? I think I saw an UPS review on TPU once.

Is buying a used PSU a good idea? Could anyone tell me which of these is better? Thermaltake Toughpower 750W or OCZ EliteXStream 800W?

I have con roe e6600.
