Which CPU Cooler?

Hi,

I've got an overheating stock-clocked QX6800, currently with an old Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. What would be my best bet for an upgrade to try and get temperatures down? Been looking at the Titan Fenrir and Akasa Nero. Are there any other I should consider? Case is an old (1st gen) Stacker 830. Will be using AS5 as thermal compound.

Advice? Opinions?

Is the TRUE Copper really worth it's price tag? or will an NH-12P (if I can find one in stock) be just as good?

I like the look of the H50, anyone else have an opinion before I settle on it and start trying to work out how to mount the radiator in an 830 case?

Ok, it's now down to two then, the corsair h50 with a push-pull fan configuration (ideas on fans please! - considering 2 x Kaze Maru) or a Prolimatech with a suitable fan (again ideas?)
