I'm wondering if anyone has ever used the Zerotherm butterfly, and had any good info on if its worth it or not.. I'm sticking it on top of a intel Quad Core. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2882721&CatId=1588

For that price, you would be much better off with a Tuniq120.

Yeah I second the Tuniq. I did look at that cooler when I was shopping for one, but for the same price the Tuniq is slightly better, plus why would you want something called a "butterfly" in your case. If you want to save a little get the Arctic Cooler 7 Pro, see a lot of people using them with good results, but with the Quad you're going to want the best. I'd even seriously consider water if you want a good oc.

Nah too expensive for a good one for me and you have to maintain them. I'm so lazy I don't clean the dust out until fans start almost seizing.

If you read how to set it up it actually doesn't sound too hard at all. I'd probably always be worried about it popping a leak and killing everything, don't know how often that happens with them but I'm sure its got to sometimes.

Anyone else have any good cpu cooler ideas? The main problem is that if I have any problems with my cpu I need to have gotten the cooling unit from tiggerdirect too.
