CPU Cooler for overclocked E8600

My Arctic Freezer 7 Pro just isn't up to the job, so was thinking of getting one of the following.

Thermalright TRUE Black 120
Noctua NH-U12P
Tuniq Tower 120-LFB

???

Been reading up and it looks like it's between the Noctua or the Thermalright. Apparently the Thermalright with the Noctua fan has slightly better cooling...

yes it does but may need lapping - i prefer the TRUE black but either one will do the job

Do they all need lapping then? I thought that was just early batches? Think I might just stick with the Noctua in that case.

i would go for the true tbh

but thats personal pref

they all perform similarly tbh
