That looks like the best bet so far, but I wanted to see what everyone else was using/wanting as far as a good coller goes. Money isn't much of a hurdle for a cooler, and my rig is in my sig.

What do you think?

EDIT: After popping the case open and measuring, I've got about 230mm (200mm easy, 230 is pushing it a little) from mobo to side fans to work with, should be fine with any heatsink.

Ahaha. I was literally just about to make another consideration post with this one. One of the reviews is pretty much usuing the same exact set up as I am and gave it 5 stars. It's ugly as sin, but sounds like it could be the best I've seen so far.

I am using this cooler with my Q6600 OC @ 3.0 GHz.... It is sexy :D

at idle my temperature is 31 C ((lowest fan speed))

at full load (( after 7 hours of prime 95) 55 C ((lowest fan speed))

this cooler is really big... just make sure you have enough space :)
