I hear (but haven't actually tried) that thermalright's XP90 hs is the best.

XP-120 🙂

Just make sure the monster is compatible with your board.

The Zalman http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=35-118-108&depa=0 has been great for me.I think you'd be splitting hairs comparing it with the Thermalrights.

The difference between the Zalman and the XP-90 with a similar fan is pretty small (in favor of the Xp-90) but the XP-120 seriously outperforms the Zalman at the same noise level.

so, xp-90 or 120?

 

[Mrvile]

X90s are smaller so they're more compatible with MBs and since the 120 is so huge you need to make sure your MB can handle it.

Check Thermalright.com for the compatability of your mobo with the XP-120. If it fits get the XP-120 because it is the superior heatsink, if it doesn't get the XP-90 which is also a great heatsink but is outperformed by the XP-120 (and only the XP-120).
