i recently ordered all the parts i needed (dfi m/b, 6600gt, ocz psu/gold series ram, etc) and also this heatsink: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835106037
well.. apparently i did not look at the heatsink before i ordered it, nor realized that the dfi board has that yellow square around the cpu socket. now i've figured out that this specifc heatsink will not work with the dfi board because of the square thing around the socket. i just now compared the stock amd heatsink with the one i ordered and noticed what kind of fan needs to be put in that yellow square. but i do not want to use the shitty stock fan that came with the cpu. so after i return this to newegg, what other heatsink should i buy. and right now im just angry and cannot find a replacement on newegg.
if anyone could tell me about a heatsink that will fit on this dfi board, i would love it.
