ThermalTake, Thermalright, or Coolermaster?

[CityRoamer]

I am trying to choose which fan for my new computer. I am debating over which heatsink to buy. It will either be the Thermalright SK6, the ThermalTake Volcano 6 or the Coolermaster DP5-6I11A.....

The Coolermaster is substantially cheaper, but what is the best Heatsink?

Coolermaster DP5-6I11A

I think the SK-6 is better but that is what i am using.

Coolermaster is adequate for CPU's running on intended speed without overclocking. I'd gladly call Coolermaster a Quietmaster. Thermaltake is super loud.

Here is the product spec

DP5-6I11A

or there is one called EP5-6I11A1

The latter is 80x60 instead of 60x60 with everything else being the same.

I'd go with the bigger one.

SK6 is the best HSF you listed.

Another vote for the SK6. But, if noise is a concern, you'll have to specify that you want a Sunon 21CFM fan, as the SK6 tends to be bundled with an extremely loud Delta fan. You'll sacrifice a bit of cooling for a lot of sanity.

If noise is a concern, the Dr. Thermal cooler is worthy a look at. The vendor listed many reviews that put its performance at the Thermalright level at much lower noise.
