what about the Scythe Mugen 3? the difference in the price in not too much so is it worth to add difference and buy the Scythe Mugen 3?
Can I overclock my system? people said to me that is impossible with my motherboard (INTEL DX58SO)?

A70 is a great cooler. Keeps my i7 970 (with a small OC) in the low 50's C (at max). That's with both fans at slow speed (1600 RPM). It isn't small though.
