Could you also tell me about the best fans to go with these heatsinks...


Between does led fans take a lot of electricity ?
My pc stay on 24/7...would it cost a lot more in a months to have 2 led fans than 2 normal ones ?

Thanks

Costs less and performs same or better than all of those listed.

Also the V10 is a very unwise choice and is dangerous for the motherboard.

XIgmatek Dark knight or the ones above....More opinions plzzz....

Get the dark knight bro. It is cheaper and one of the highest performing heatsinks EVER.

 

Also 4 Ghz is not guaranteed unless you get a D0 stepping and even then ANY aircooling might not be fully sufficient if your case is not very well cooled.

 

Edit: My dark knight keeps my i7 920 @ 4.0 Ghz pretty well with an after market 110 CFM scythe fan and a case with 2 88 CFM scythe intake fans in the front, 2 exhaust ones on the top, and 2 39 CFM 92mm fans in the back. My temps are about 70c when at full load. Right now I am using a nice watercooling loop to cool it at 4.2 Ghz, but air cooling wont work at that voltage. Also note that I do not have a D0 stepping, sadly. Also note that my case houses some space heaters (2 4870 X2s at the time), so you wont need all that cooling.

I would go with the Thermalright IFX. If you order from Crazy PC.com they will even lap it for you for $25.00. I hope that you are using a full size case. You will also need 2 140mm fans. The IFX is the leading air cooler tested at X-bit Labs last time I checked.

You might want to read a good atricle on the subject:

The prolimatech megahalems tested best, but the thermalright is not far behind.

For best cooling, you can get a high output fan, but you will pay the price in noise. There are some real screamers available.
The review used a yate loon D12-SH-12 fan for the overclock tests.
