Hi guys, Im currently looking at CPU coolers for my new pc and there are soo many to pick i dont know what one will meet my needs.

Now the motherboard is a Asus P6T Deluxe and im getting Corsair XMS3 6GB memory which dont have any heatsinks on them (which i imagine can cause problems trying to fit some of these large coolers)

now the last cooler i had was a Scythe Ninja, Which was a pain in the ass to fit (i made the mistake of fitting the mobo first then the cpu cooler) So i was after a cooler that i can overclock my i7 2.66 to 4ghz but isnt a total pain in the backside to fit. Altho if its not that hard with it out of the case then its not too much of a problem if its alittle fiddly.

The one i was looking at was the asus Tritron series, As the last pc i built had an earlier version of them and was easymode to install.

I was looking for something around the £50 mark.

Thanks
 
Cool thanks, Dunno why i didnt look at just getting a HS and a seperate fan before! (doh)

Might have to get that titan because the other is out of stock (that and quite a lot of other things on overclockes today, Whats going on?!)

*edit*

ooo i like the look of the one above, I like how there is a gap between the plate and the heatsink.. hmmm
 
Noctua should be lovely I am waiting on one myself, website reports 10+ in stock, but unfortunately its an error and there are currently none, so maybe call to check beofre you order. It seems to do very well in reviews. It appears the fans are lovely and quiet but very efficient also, can;t say myself, as I am awaiting delivery.
 
I am also looking to buy a new HSF for my i920 D0, and I have decided to go for the Titan Fenrir as I have heard lots of good things about it...
