I have a fairly good cooler but without going watercooling what is better cooler than the FP7?

And what is the best air cooler for 775 boards?

Thanks

some choices
Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/LGA775) (£48.29)
Thermalright TRUE Black 120 CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/LGA775) (£40.24)*
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/LGA775) (£34.49)*
Tuniq Tower 120-LFB CPU Cooler (Socket 478/754/939/940/AM2/LGA775)(£31.04)

* requires 120mm fan(s) purchased separately

Thanks. Heard good things about the TRUE one, is that good?

regarded as one of the best when coupled with a good 120mm fan

What kind of temp drops would people expect to see moving from a artic 7 to a true black?

When i used a freezer 7 my temps @3.4ghz were hitting 77'c on 2 cores, 72 iirc on the other 2. Changed to a TRUE black and knocked the clockspeed up to 3.6ghz with a slight vcore increase from 1.3750-1.400 and my load temps were 68-68-62-62.

If you don't care about noise and just want ultimate performance then either Thermalrights or the OCZ Vendetta or Xigmatek 1283.

If you do care about noise then get the Xigmatek 1283.

and if you really dont care about noise, replace every case fan with deltas and mount 2 deltas onto a TRUE

...and bolt the case to the floor!

How does the Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler compare to the xigmatek?
