Out of those three I'd get the Megahalem (I did anyway)

Same here. I have a Megahalems & I'm very happy with it paired with an Akasa Apache fan. Looking at getting another Apache to run in push/pull now

Megahalems all the way.

Isn't that supposed to be the same as the Mega? And it comes with the fan...

Hi!

What about the Coolermaster V8 (I'm just about to get one). I have read good things about it and it looks amazing!

I just hope it fits in my ANTEC 900 case

Id suggest the meagahelem or the thermalright ultra. The ifx is overkill for cooling, and the megahelems can block ram slots on certain boards, thankfully my TRUE black on my p6t dlx board still gives me the option of 12 gb ram if i ever need it.

Have just got the corsair h50 and temps on my i7 920 are 34,34,30,30 at stock seems to good so far!!
Worth considering?

OH by the way im just using the antec 300 case fans inconjunction with the h50. i moved the fan from the rear of the case to the front and fitted the h50 at the rear the case also has a 120mm top fan.

With sharkoon 400-1200 rpm fans (pwm) at 500 rpm, my i7 is idling at 31-27-31-27 at 3.0ghz undervolted at 1.18v core.
