Hi, I have a Thermaltake Armor Revo chassis.
I am planning to buy an i7-4930K CPU and an ASUS X79-DELUXE motherboad.

I am now looking for a good/valid CPU cooler. What do you think about:

Thermaltake FrioOCK Snow Edition, or Thermaltake Frio Extreme? Are they good?

I want to avoid water cooling system, but still I want the chassis to be as silent as possible.
Can you suggest something valid from the ones I proposed or something different? Other brands are also welcome.

Thanks. It looks like that Noctua NH-D14 is the best choice. However it fits GA1366, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1150, LGA775, AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, but the i7-4930K CPU seems to have an LGA 2011 :/

IF you read the article, you should have seen the part which says you MUST get the SE2011 version which has the necessary hardware for socket 2011 mounting.

If you already have the Noctua, they offer the NM-I2011 SecuFirm2 mounting kit, making it compatible with 2011 CPUs.
