Cooling advice

[tfganhao]

Hello OcUK.

I've been looking at setting up a new computer and am kinda in doubt about what sort of cooling i should go.


First, specs of what i'm planning to buy:

i7 930 2.8 Ghz (to overclock to 4ghz)
Asus Rampage 2 Extreme
3x2gb Corsair Dominator DDR3
ATI Radeon 5870
Corsair Obsidian 800D
Corsair HX850W.

Now for the cooling, what sort of CPU should i go for to achieve good temps when overclocking?

These are the options i've been looking at:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-076-TR (with 2 fans. Should they be intaking air aswell as the case fan close to the cpu or the other way around)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-002-CS (same question as b4, should i add another fan and what direction should the air go?)

or at last, this?: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-068-TR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=

Along with the 3 fans i'll put in the top part of the case sucking hot air out of the case, will this get me some good temps or will i need to go watercooling? (by good temps i'm hoping below < 75º C)


Thanks in advance.

I have the Corsair 800d case with a i7 setup running @ 4ghz with the Thermaltight ultra extreme cooling it.

i get around 65c full load with one sharkoon fan.

I use the H50 and it compliments the 800D case very nicely, but if you want air cooling the best one around at the mement is ...

thank you both for the replies, i guess i'll go for that Noctua NH-D14. (ugly fans tough, will probably put some Xilence ones there, which are the ones i plan to put on the case.)
