    New fans for Hyper 212+ in a dusty environment

    I'm looking to replace the stock fan on my hyper 212+ but have heard a lot of conflicting opinions as to which route to go. My house is dusty so I'm leaning towards high static pressure fans, sp120's in push/pull. Are there any better alternatives or is push/pull a waste on this hsf?

    good am2 board

    Building a new computer and changed my mind about going 939 so I would like some input on good am2 boards, I'm a big fan of Epox but open to other companies. I don't need SLI or any wireless features. Overclocking isn't a high priority. Thanks.
