Dont get any Asus **** for HSF...

Best around are Thermalright Ultra 120, Xigmtek HDT-Sxxx something and the Tuniq tower.

Those heatsink designs are horrible. Heat only travel up heatpipes to an extent. Those necks are too long. The thermal difference will be high. It's a tested and failed concept.

See heatsink benchmarks:

This is the absolute best model, $40.

How much are you looking to spend?

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro is cheap at about £15 but very effective (besides the standard Intel mounting device) and has many awards from trusted sources.

Hi ,
I've got the thermal-right ultra 120 extreme ,
Its a huge monster which won't fit into every case ,
but it does the job very good ,
my CPU was running on idle around 41-43c , after I attached the ultra 120 extreme , its dropped to 25!!!
15 degrees its a lot of improvement , I think its amazing and people should invest in think like that.. make its more expensive but its really will give you a quite mind for a while.
