I need a new cpu fan, and am wondering what to get...
I am presently looking at the coolermaster jet 7 (comes with heatsink), check link:

or the coolermaster hyper 6+.
now I know the hyper 6+ will be better, but is more expensive. but the real problem is whether either will fit on my mobo, which is a pcchips m848a. notorius for being awkward for heatsink fitting. link is:

I am seriously doubting whether the hyper 6+ will fit, i cant see how it can, and, even though it says it is meant to fit a socket a board, looking at the connector types, it has me confused! any other idea's, bearing in mind how tricky it is to fit them on my board.
thanks for any help.
 
You might have more luck in the cooling section, but while I'm here, I'm going to vote "neither". Get a Big Typhoon, of SI-97 if you can afford it. Both of those will work with your next board, too. Good place to buy: www.svc.com
