Any suggestions??
Ive had a good look around OCuk.. and previously, I have always gone for one of the AC range, however, I dont understand their shift to what appears to be coolers sutied for BTX designs...
Artic Cooling Accelero X2 Cooler (X1800/X1900 Series) (SY-002-AR)

Unfortunately my PC isnt BTX comptible, so yes, a DHES is necessary!!!
Their other versions expell the out out of the back of the pc, I dont understand why you would want otherwise, so you are not increasing your overall system temp, which will inevitably effect cpy temp.. and in an OC px, you need to keep these low as possible...
I dont want water, as my PSU is on the bottom of the case, with the vent facing up, so any possible leakage would be disasterous...!!!
Are there any other alternatives, the stock cooler is far too noisy when it gets going, not great for oc'ing, and not very efficient...

Accelero is 100% BTX compatible, thus a DHES is not possible/necessary anymore. The hot air is removed by the BTX airflow.
