Hi there i have a 2600k on an asus p8p67 deluxe motherboard, under stress ive noticed my cpu almost reaching 70 degrees! at present I have an alpenfohn matterhorn "the Beast" cooler and is currently cased in a raven rv1 tower. Id like to know the very best cooler I can buy! on my motherboard theres an "asus auto overclock function" and when the turbo mode kicks in , it boosts upto 4.6ghz and ive noticed the volts changing little amounts in cpu-z? if i manually overclock and leave volts alone, do u think the temps will come down? idle temps for cpu are 35c and 29c for motherboard

Thanks, the Noctua cooler looks mega quiet too

I was thinking of trying the corsair h70 but changing the fans to reduce it's noise, has anyone got one of these?

yeah thats a good point, i thought mine was big at 158mm, I like the silence of the noctua but why do they use such horrible colours, especially when almost all cases have side windows. i will have a look at the archon thanks, there is not a lot of room from cpu area to the ddr area as my fan would not fit due to the size of vengance memory so now have it on the wrong side
