Cooler change from Zalman CNPS9700

I've had this cooler a while but it's too noisy so I run it at it's lowest speed.
I wanna change to a cooler that's designed to be quiet.

Noctua NH-U12F (at 5V)
Scythe Ninja (fanless or with NF-12 fan at 5V)
Scythe Infinity (with NF-12 fan at 5V)
Thermalright Ultra-120 (with NF-12 fan at 5V)

Which one do you think I should go for?

Personally I would go for the thermalright

Whichever you feel like as they're all good. The Noctua probably isn't the best if you're going to be overclocking the CPU but is one of the best for low noise. I'm using one on an E6600 with the fan speed controlled by the mobo BIOS. The CPU is currently running at 100%, the cores are at 43C and the fan's at 1336 rpm.

thermalright tbh, it has better mounting than the noctua and the ninja/infinty are easily beaten buy the ultra 120

Cheers guys! I'm not bothered by the noise of the cpu as i'll be replacing any fans that come with them with a noctua. Looks like the thermalright is my choice
