Big typhoon is the way to go. Ran one with a naked 170 at 3ghz for a long time. If you need one, pm me.

Out of those 2, maybe the tried and tested TtBT. :)
(Had one and still like it. :p: )

How about an Ultima 90 using core protective rubber?? :yawn:
(Lighter than TtBT, as good as TtBT or better cooling and 2 bolt mounting using a metal backplate for nf4 mobos)
Won't face the rear case fan on Expert though. :(

Noctua NH-C12P. A lot better than the BT and has a very good stock fan.
