The Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme will keep that great chip running very cool and give you the option to easily overclock to 4GHz, letting you unleash the full potential of that otherwise great setup. I know $60 is a lot to dump on a heatsink but just feel glad I'm not trying to sell you one of my $800 single-stages. Your chip will love you for it, the U-120X that is.<br /><br /> Just a minor correction, the P35 chipset doesn't support SLI but it does support Crossfire albeit at 16x/4x rather than full 16x/16x like the X38 chipset, may want to edit that one bit. Only Nvidia's 650/680/780 chipsets support consumer-grade SLI, X38 supports professional-grade SLI, and P35 supports neither SLI afaik.<br />
