If you're spending that much cash (£40 + 1/2 fans) you'd be better off with a TRUE or noctua. They'll cost about the same, and perform better.

+1 get a TRUE or a Noctua for that price.

You'll also need to buy a 120mm fan if you get one of those. Best ones are the Noctua NF-P12's

Noctua's cooler is similar to the Thermalright one but not quite as good. I used to have the Noctua one until this weekend when I managed to get a free thermalright. The noctua one does come with a Noctua NF-P12 free though! There is probably only about 2-3C difference between them so they are both very good.

Nice one dude

cheers.

EDIT:

Would i have the fan blowing air into the cooler or away from?

Oh right ill probably do the push pull thingy then..

Push pull for optimal performance, but naturally it means double the fan noise.

I find that with a TRUE there's no need for push-pull in most cases, unless you're going for an insane overclock

Im going for the smoothest running system ever, ill probably overclock it a little..

Push and pull will probably do me reet, as for noise i doubt ill care too much.

What case do you have? If you are in the market for a really good air cooled pc then I can highly recommend the Antec 900 + TRUE + Noctua case fans. My pc is currently idling at 22C on all four cores running at 3.6Ghz and doesn't get past 53C after 10 hours of priming.

With the Antec case you don't need push pull because the TRUE sits right next to the rear exhaust fan and acts in a push/pull config anyway.

I have a 900
