if you have already a watercooling system on your tbred, then i would suggest to add a passiv waterblock on your nb or something of the sort in your loop, otherwise you could go for a big hsf, though i would prefere the watercooling

Ditto. I just pulled my KX7 out of the dark ages with an old Pentium HS, doubt it'll run @ the timings I want but there you go, with water it might cause it's still hot on the back of the mobo...

Mine never posted @ 200 before exept in dimm4, with the HS it'll post in all the dimms. Experiment with a HS first to prevent being dissapointed dude...

A good HSF will do - and of course a waterblock is always nice. The A7N8X is very stable with a well cooled NB.
The HSF is the noisy solution
