Hello,
I was wanting to find out how well this cools: Prolimatech Megahalems. And also will it fit on a Evga Classified MB with fan?

Also question about fans, I was thinking about getting a 38mm fan because I want to OC my i7 would all that be to much to fix on the i7 Classified? I was looking at One of this (its in compare). Which one would be great at air a OC i7 to get to 4.0 ghz to 4.2ghz? Or is there a better fan?

Thank you for your time and help.

Neither fan, really. The Delta would melt your eardrums and the Ultra Kaze is lacking in quality. Use the Panaflo M1BX instead, much more flexible option.

as i recall on evga boards, the megahalems fit with a fan even if all ram slots are filled but you might not be able to fit the last fan clip as it would hug on the ram say if it were dominators. you should be fine if your using a 3x2gb kit even if you have high heatsinks, if your using all dimms then it might be up in the air according to how tall your ram is
