ok i need a new cpu cooler i have looked on a lot of sites and without a doubt i have picked a top 3 (Zalman CNPS9500 LED,Scythe Ninja, Thermaltake Big Typhoon), but i need some advice from people who actually own them.
whats the best one? how quiet are they? is there a better one that i aint mentioned?

btw i have a p4 3.2GHz prescott i want it o/ced very highly to around 3.6-4.0 is possible

Cheers
Nick

if you have the money then a Scythe Ninja with Akasa amber fan.
If you are on a budget then the Big Typhoon.

im also interested in these coolers especially the big typhoon and the scythe, is the scythe any better performance wise than the big typhoon if so would it fit in my 3D auroura

Yep thats the exact setup i have. havent tried the other 2 but the SN is doing very well for me at the moment. As i have said elsewhere though this thing is VERY big. Think about a stack of about 100 cd's without cases and it is about the same size (and the edges are VERY sharp so be careful if you get it

).
