Good cooler for my i5 750 (out of 5 combos)

Last response: in Overclocking

I know the Cooler Master 212 seems to be the fave, but was wondering if any of these coolers were good for me as well.

Case: haf 932, CPU- i5 750, PSU- xfx 750w, GPU- gtx 460 1 gb, memory 4 gb ddr3 ram, ssd, hdd, blu-ray drive, i plan on overclocking, but not at a crazy level., 15 dolalr discount for each combo.

The mobo i want to buy is the asus p7p55d-e pro and they have a lot of combos with coolers so i was wondering if there was one that would work perfectly w/ my build.

I think the Tuniq tower would be the best of these the Zalman would be a bit better than the 212+ which would be 3rd this is purely from a cooling point of view. Note the 212+ is over priced on newegg you should be able to get it for <$30.

Go with Tuniq or Zalman IMO. I have a Zalman CNPS10X Extreme which is performing great, and the Performa is quite similar.

Tuniq looks sick tho, I'd probably get that one haha.

Ok, I'm leaning towards the Zalman or Tuniq, are fans included in either of those two or do i have to buy the fans separately? (Total noob, sorry!) Thanks for the answers/help. and tuniq comes w/ 1156 bracket and paste, does zalman as well?

alright, i need my space. First time installation and i think it'll help. Plus the tuniq comes w/ everything I need anyways, right?

Though the tomshardware review isn't very kind to it

Yes it comes with everything you need and fares very well in THG review it's like tied with the Zalman(4th) in important test like cooling and 3rd for vrm cooling.
Not too bad at all considering the $80 Noctua is in the same test.
