I am thinking of getting a CPU cooler, but given the varieties out there, I'm not sure which to get:

- Noctua NH-U12F CPU Heatpipe Heatsink and fan
- Scythe Infinity Quiet CPU Cooler Quiet - Socket 478, LGA775, Socket 754, 939, 940, AM2
- Zalman CNPS9700-LED Super Aero Flower Cooler (775/AM2/754/939/940)

I use the zalman one and im finding it really good. Got a stable 1ghz overclock on a E6300 with it at the moment.

whats your budget? the best cooler (air) on the market is the tuniq tower, it really is awesome, but people have found incompatability issues with certain cases! i would forget the scythe infinity and go for the ninja over it! but either way the tuniq is still top notch!

Should have posted in overclocking and cooling.

Current champs are Tuniq tower, Thermalright Ultra 120, Ninja, Vanessa-L.
I think they're all better that the 3 you listed.

Is there a reason for not considering the AC Pro 7? But yeah - the tower is a beast.

No, missed that one off.

Although i think its a bit of a budget cooler compared to those others.

You won't, its a great cooler.
May even be better than some of the ones i posted, certainly better than the freezer.
