What cooling would be better ? Intel Quad Core I5 2400 Quad Core 3.1GHZ 1155 6MB Tray + Scythe JAPAN KATANA 3 1156 or Intel Quad Core I5 2400 Quad Core 3.1GHZ 1155 6MB BOX

The Scythe JAPAN KATANA 3 will be better than the retail HSF that comes with the i5-2400.

... I should add -- the retail HSF for a i5-2400 is surprisingly small, but it doesn't take much to cool a i5-2400 because of the 0.32 fab process. The i5-2400 is very efficient power wise for a quad core compared to the previous generations.
