Need advice on the CPU cooler for new build

[nyker96]

I am building a new C2D system with mid tower case for a friend, need something that's a little better than AF7 pro but just as easy to install. Any suggestions? no tuniq or TR 120 etc. Too bulky.

CoolerMaster Hyper TX2?

The Hyper TX2 doesn't perform any better than the AF7 Pro. The problem is that those two heatsinks are the best performers, for their size and price. To get better cooling, you have to spend more, and have a larger heatsink.

How about an Ultima-90. It is smaller than the 120, and lighter, and cheaper, but it works GREAT.

ULTIMA-90 not ultra-90

Big difference.
