Spec me a CPU cooler.

I'm looking to get a EVGA nForce 780i SLI nForce 780i soon, can anyone recommend a good CPU cooler. I do have thing for the Akasa AK-961, i've got an Akasa Eclipse 62 so size does not matter.

Thanks Marlos.

I have the same case... depending on budget...

Cheap & Effective = AC7 Pro
Best Performance= TRUE
Best value = OCZ Vendetta 2 (half th price of the True but performance is near equal.

Just had a look at the OCZ Vendetta 2 and i don't like the look of it.

do you have a windowed sidepanal or are you planning on getting one?

if not why would the look bother you

tuniq tower 120
true
Noctua NH-U12P
xigmatek HDT-S1283

Seeing as ocuk don't stock xigmatek that leaves you with the noctua which is as good as a tuniq tower or true
is it me or is the OCZ Vendetta 2 a rebadged xigmatek ?

tuniq tower 120 Out of stock, Noctua NH-U12P/xigmatek HDT-S1283 i don't like the look of them.
thanks

The OCZ and Xigmatek are near identical.
