CPU Justice

I have finally decided to give my CPU the overclock it deserves.

Currently running an i7 920 @ 3.3GHz on a cheap aftermarket cooler. I'm in need of a decent cooler that will take me as close to 4GHz as I can get!

I don't want to break the bank but at the same time I want to get the most out of CPU. Suggestions please guys?

I'm gonna say £50? But open to suggestions on how much it takes to get it right

Thanks for the feedback so far, I'm unsure whether to go for air vs. water?

Guys how would you rate this vs. decent air coolers above:

Is it the C0 or D0 stepping?

C0 stepping, so I realise I am looking at max 3.8GHz or so?
