What's the best CPU air cooler on the market?

 

[Sonophos]

Does it have to be air?

Antec and Corsair do some reasonably priced liquid coolers.

toms lga 2011 cooler round up
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/LGA-2011-i7-3960X-Air-Overclocking,3130.html

it depends on your specs.

imo coolermaster hyper 212 evo is a good cpu cooler for money.

Best for what? overall cooling performance/loudest/most expensive?. Anyway go over to www.frostytech.com. they have lots of reviews and charts to take a look at and decide for yourself ;-)
