You can check out the various models on frostytech.com.

My preference in past builds were Xigmatek models such as the Dark Knight, but better coolers might be on the market now.

Yup Frosty Tech has data on many of the top coolers in all price ranges. There is some variation in cooler efficiency based on CPU so use the Intel data for comparison purposes. I too like the quality and performance of the Xigmatek HSFs and just bought a Aegir SD128264 which is new tech and single fan.

For that kind of money I'd go with a 212 and put another R4 on it in push/pull. $40 shipped and 10-15 bucks still in your pocket.

one thing that is on my mind is i have a cooler master 310 and im worried that the dark knight or 212 might not fit ,do you guys think it will be a problem..
