What are the very best coolers out there now? I have read that the FOP38 and the Golbal Win WBK38 are the two best performers. My idle is around 47c right now and that clearly is too nigh. I need to get my idle below 40c.

I am adding a Super Duper Cooler exhuast fan below my Video card and also an exhaust fan under the power supply (Enlight Case). But the CPU is the key.

I currently use a CPC-30370, which I bought from KMD Computers.com. I don't think this hs/fan combo is good enough.

What about these guys? www.step-thermodynamics.com/

The best cooler available now is the Swiftech MC-462. Bar none! It isn't quiet. There is a new cooler in the works called the Millenium, but it isn't yet available retail, and is way too heavy to be using a clip that fastens to the socket. The Swiftech is as heavy but uses an entirely different attachment method that puts no strain on the socket attachment to the motherboard.
