Best performing CPU block for Core2Duo?

As per title guys - whats the current 'king of cool' in terms of CPU blocks?

I've heard a lot of talk about koolance recently but am not really familiar with their products. I currently have the XSPC Delta V3 but am about to send my entire rig off for powdercoating amongst other things so it would be a good time to look at the alternatives!

Cheers!

The best ones all perform within a few degrees of each other really, so it doesnt make much difference. The easiest one to find is the Swiftech GTZ which is pretty common and until recently was the best (I believe).

Now though theres the HeatKiller 3.0. Looks amazing and is the best one out there now

Heatkiller or GTZ are only a degree or 2 between them.

Who makes the heatkiller or is that the name of the company? Sorry I only recently heard of this one and am unsure of it's performance/stats etc.

Will I see a noticable drop in temps you reckon?

My Core2Duo E8400 @ 4.40Ghz (1.325v) IDLES: 38-39c LOADS: 45-47c

Thats on the XSPC Delta V3.
