Did you get one of these ones with the ****ty cooler too?

If you did then you're SOL because of the VRMs.

You're going to pretty much need this to keep your VRMs from frying. It should work with most heatsinks, but you might as well go with the T-Rad2, since the Twin Turbo is a bit of a pain to install.
