Definitely the Noctua NH-U12P IMO. I have an i7 920 also and, after doing a bit of research, intend to buy this cooler as soon as I can get the money together. Make sure it is the SE1366 version you get as it comes with two fans (plus the original won't mount on the socket 1366 motherboard). Check out this review also:

I like the Vigor Monsoon III LT, personally. Built up 8 i7 rigs all using that HSF and stock temps for the 920 are in the 35c idle and 60c Prime 95 ranges. @3.11GHz they were 40c and 70c.

Then again the only thing I had to compare temps with was a Zalman 9500CNPS which preformed poorly.
