If you're wanting air try a megahalems

Titan Fenrir

The Titan Fenrir is very poor actually - very tight and too close to memory ram. The 1366 bolt under motherboard with screw is pretty poor as there is no screw on top of the nut to screw it down with a screwdriver, I had to use my thumb and finger to screw it very tight.. I got these with my 4Ghz oc bundles as the temperature went too high at 90C straight away.

Has anyone tried the V10 coolermaster? That is pretty pricy... not sure on performance though.

Thermalright TRUE Copper

+1 for megahalems

Water is a good plan too - but not nearly as easy to do as top-end air cooling

Thermalright ultra extreme.

Probably the best cooler available.

The downside if you have to have a case that lies flat

where did you hear that from? it a heavy beast and you take the risk of bending the borad.

Im sure you could suspend it in some way if you are that worried :confused:

Optimus Prime says "NOOOOOOOOO!"

The Megahalems trumphs the TRUE copper in all but a few select reviews, and I believe its cheaper too. And it isn't mobo bending heavy either.

Sorry to say, but the V10 is one expensive hunk of junk.

Noctua push-pull works very nicely for me.

Weighs almost 3 kilos, before you stick 1 or 2 fans on it. So it definitely falls into the category of heavy beast.

Arctic cooling extreme, miles better than the fenrir in my opinion. Much lower temps on the arctic than the fenrir for me. http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_42&mID=69

Isn't the v10 the current best on load if you heavily mod it?

Read a review a while back and it was way below the rest once tweaked with that engine they have.
