Cooler for i7 930

Hello,

I want to change the Intel stock cooler of my i7 930 CPU to something with better performance as stability and long life is something I want to achieve with this CPU. Also, noise level is critical as a lot of time my PC runs while I sleep.

My question is: which air or passive (no water cooling please) cooler would you recommend below the 65$-60$ prince range? I was thinking of buying a Prolimatech Megahalem or Armageddon but I don`t quite understand if they NEED coolers mounted on them as well. I think they would be an ideal solution because of the 0 noise level, but.. as I said before, I don`t know whether it is necessary to mount coolers on them.

P.S : I am buying from scan.co.uk .

Thank you in advance!
 
For absolutely ZERO noise get Thermalright HR-02 Passive cooler. Don't OC before you've checked your temps ;P. Sadly scan.co.uk doesn't have it but amazon.co.uk does.

Scythe mugen 3 is another great silent performance cooler but can't find it in UK.

Another option could be venomous-X heatsink only or prolimatech megahalems + silent fan of your choice.
