Title: PLEASE HELP
Post by: [email protected] on June 07, 2011, 02:38:23 PM

so im building a new computer, and wish to order it today, but i have a few final questions. First of all my motherboard/CPU are LGA1155, so im wondering if my CPU cooler needs to be as well, because i am finding it extremely hard to find a good LGA1155 fan. My other question is does my ram need to have the same MHz as my motherboard plz help, thanks

Yes the CPU Cooler needs to be socket LGA115, The RAM has to be a MHz that is SUPPORTED by the motherboard, look the motherboard up on http://www.crucial.com (http://www.crucial.com) to check what sort and speeds are compatible.
