Freezer 64 Pro would get my vote for that setup.

Best cooler is the Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme and a decent 120mm fan

damn i could have sold you all that as i'm looking to upgrade. are the 3rd party coolers easy to install to any mobo or does it depend?

not really.... i had a thermaltake volcano 12 a while back when the fan was up all the way on that ( 6000rpm) it was loud....i would like somthing real good but not as loud as that.

Tuniq Tower, Thermalright Ultra 120, Thermalright IFX.

with: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...e=Noctua NF-P12 120mm Silent Case Fan - 3 Pin

In my opinion.

Fixed for you. The TRUE loves 2 fans (one intake, one exhaust).

tuniq tower gets mine

My advice also is Arctic Freezer 64 Pro.

im surprised nobody asked what case he has.. because the Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme is very tall and some other coolers..

anyway i recommend the Thermalright SI-128... mine as a muti colour lights fan on it which looks good..

tuniq tower with a sharkoon fan....mine works very very well in my p190 case.

I'm running it fine on a 4200+ and a 6600gt on low settings just fine.

So you should be able to have at least medium settings.
