GIGABYTE GA-965P-DQ6 Socket T (LGA 775) and cooling quiery

[Shorla]

Hi im thinking of buying the GIGABYTE GA-965P-DQ6 Socket T (LGA 775)-
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128323)but i know there is some trouble putting aftermarket CPU fan on it because of the backplate, does anyone know which coolers are compatable with this? Im concerned because i want to overclock this so obviously want it to run as cool as possible. Thanks.

Artic Freezer would work fine.

You might want to read this link - they figured out a way to use an aftermarket cooler on that board. http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/gigabyte_ga-965p-dq6_review/page5.asp

It's about 2/3 of the way down.
