Looking for a new i7 Cooler

[chconline Veteran]

Noctua NH-D14 if you want to go nuts. It's superultrawtfhumongous but it's worth it. :D (I wrote about it a few months back -- http://aphnetworks.com/reviews/noctua_nh_d14 ) You get Noctua fans with it as well, and personally I only use them for their performance and quietness and for the last 3 years or so I haven't found anything that can outperform them in the noise to real life airflow ratio. By real life airflow I mean the stuff that actually makes it effective across the heatsink, and not just the blind CFM ratings.

The Thermalright Venomous X and Prolimatech Megahalems are also excellent choices if you don't need something that physically large. Prolimatech Armageddon is the newest cooler BTW.
