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.
 
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.)
