    do you want to overclock the shit out of it? get the hawk else the gaming is plenty.
    then again without more info/needs/desires/wishes/budget/intentions this is pretty useless advice.

    I third this recommendation. The windforce cooler is badass.
    If you must insist on using a non-sanctioned sitting apparatus, please consider the tensile strength
    of the materials present in the object in question in comparison to your own mass volumetric density.
    In other words, stop breaking shit with your fat ass.

    Gigabyte runs 4c cooler than the MSI gaming edition while having a higher stock OC. Cant find a review of the hawk version.

    - - - Updated - - -

    BTW thats the old style gigabyte cooler, the revision 2 cooler is apparently even better:

    Plus the HAWK costs $30 more for a minor clock speed increase(you are not going to notice 30mhz difference and you can easily boost the clock speeds to make up for any amount of difference and having a better cooler will help support that).

    It seems he's set on MSI though, he'd have to pay for an ingame name change to Gigabyte otherwise, etc.

    i own the gigabyte one... im very happy with it. windforce is the way to go. i sell computer parts and over the years i have learned not to trust msi, biostar, and zotac stuff, they are cheaper for a reason.
