This cooler has a broken pin, fan bearings are rattling, the nickel plating is peeling and underneath it doesn look like copper lol,

Anyway I will be overclocking with the new cooler somewhere between 3.0 to 3.4 Ghz

I need a recomendation for cooler, can't decide, so here is what a looked at

COOLER MASTER Hyper Z600
COOLER MASTER v8
Vigor Monsoon III
Tuniq Tower
Sycthe Mugen 2

Two top cooler are expensive and bottom 3 are kick ass and are in a good price range. Im open to any other coolers that i dont know about.

As for the thermal paste Artic Silver 5 looks good but open to any better recomandations.

If I were choosing between those, I would probably get the Mugen 2 myself. The Hyper Z600 does seem to perform very well too.

Two other cheapies with excellent performance: Xigmatek HDT-S1283 and Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer.

As far as thermal paste, I've used AS5 for years and was perfectly happy with it. In my most recent build I used MX-2 and it seems to be working great as well.

Looking at the bottom of the coolers its weird on CCF and xigimatek that it has 4 pipes mixed with nickel.

aahhh now i get the whole lapping process however im not quite ready to do that lol to scared. In that case ill go for one of the total contact( completly even bottom) cooler.

looking at all these im kind of leaning towards sythe mugen 2 since it got flat bottom, and maybe not going to make to much noise like the vigor monsoon 3 with the 2 fans and has free shipping.

The Scythe Mugen 2 is a great cooler, my friend has his i7 920 at 3.6Ghz with the SM2 and good temps.

Like ive said many times though, the fenrir is almost the exact same design as the CCF.

In my tests the CCF has performed better than the fenrir with the same speed fan (=

Now when you say lapping do you mean polishing the heatsink with different grades of sand paper or lapping the cpu with the razor blade?

IF you wont build a HSH
then get the CCF because it kicks ass
