I7 930 & ASUS P6X58D Premium

[ChuckR]

I am putting together a PLAN on a new build. The question is whether or not I will need to add a CPU Cooler if I do only minimal overclocking, if any. I am coming from a Pentium IIIE system and the change should be sufficient. Little, if any, gaming.
Thoughts: Cool, Quiet, Clean, GOOD Monitor as some eye problems
Antec P183
Intel Core I7 930 or I7 920(D0)
ASUS P6X58D Premium
Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600 KHX1600C9D3K6/12GB
Intel® X25-M G2 160GB & WD Caviar Black 1TB Or Kingston SNV425-S2BD/128GB
Sapphire 5850(Vapor-X)
ANTEC CP-850
Scythe Gentle Typhoons
Samsung SH-D163A
Windows 7 Ultimate

Items still up in the air.
Dell UltraSharp U2410 Rev. 2 or HP ZR24W or ASUS VW246H
Scythe Zipang 2, Corsair H50, Xigmatek Balder SD1283

The two items "Cool , Quiet" alone would demand a nice cooler, regardless of OC. IMO, the biggest cooler will require the smallest and quietest fan. Megahalem would be my choice, I love the mounting.

100% agreed.
I'm specing out a very similar build actually, came to almost identical parts decisions as you.
I'll likely cheap out and get a smaller SSD and migrate my existing video card (8800gt), but the megahalem (or similar) is definitely the way to go if you want quiet and cool.

What about the CoolIt Systems ECO ALC ? It seems to be an upgrade from the H50.

That's a brilliant design, I've had that idea for years and thought someone should build it! Amazing what happens when I turn my back on the industry for a development cycle...

Hunting for reviews, looks too new... *digs deeper*

Reviewer may have gotten a bad sample, but 100C under load is BAAAAD...

10-20 degrees C better than the stock i7-860 cooler, that's pretty good.

Good comparison charts here:

Very quiet, but in cooling it couldn't touch the Noctua NH-C12P when overclocked which is similarly quiet.

Says performs about the same as the Corsair H50 but seems to be suffering QC issues.

Aaaand that's all I can dig up.
Looks promising if it delivers what it promises... and doesn't break spraying coolant all over the inside of your case.
