i was going to go with the one above it, but i read a review on a site i found that compared the 2 and a few more and this one won so i got it. its gonna be noisy tho, but noise isnt something i mind with my pc so its all good

thanks for the help guys

now i just have to wait till the end of the month so i have enough for the cpu

The thermal guideline from Intel is the highest temperature rating that the CPU can safely operate at without damage. I'm a full 7 deg C below the treshhold, so I'm not worried.

i didnt mean it like "you should be worried" i was just saying that im a temperature freak and would put my pc in a chest freezer if i could afford it just to keep it cool lol
