Help choose a heat-sync/fan

Out of those? The Scythe. I'm still going to say this once more though: "Scythe Ninja!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111oneoneoneleven" The Infinity is a huge burden on motherboards just in case you need to move the computer to LAN parties and such. The Freezer 7 Pro is a great heatsink for the budget-minded user (but not so much for the extreme overclocker). The CNPS9500, IMO, has always been an overpriced heatsink and therefore is the worst in terms of value out of those three.

actually the AF7 isnt so bad :T i actually like it more then the ninja because you can get it for 19.99 with a fan.
 
I don't like the fact that Scythe uses sleeve bearing fans on all of their heatsinks.

Personally I would probably go with the Zalman 9500AT, unlike the LED version the AT has 4-pin PWM fan that will be able to control via your 775 motherboard.
 
or just get a tuniq tower 120. better than all those imo and practically same price from petratech.

size is almost the same too.
 
What about those choices if overclock is wanted but sound minimization is also important?

The Tuniq reviews say it sounds like a plane taking off.
