Hey guys,
I've been running with my i7 960 for a few months and I'm looking to get a new cooler to run the temps colder so I can overclock (current idle temp on the chip is 40-44c). The problem is that I have all RAM slots occupied (12gb of RAM - I use this for audio work) so as I understand it my preferred choice (prolimatech mega shadow) is out of the question (too big).
Does anyone have some recommendations for a cpu cooler that will fit and let me do some overclocking? I've been looking at a number of coolers similar to the prolimatech (thermalright ultra 120, noctua NH-U12P, scythe mugen v2) but the size is a concern.
