Hi
Which the cooler I should buy ?
- OCZ Vendetta 2
- Zalman 9700 Led
- Scythe Ninja 2
I need it for better OC than 3.8Ghz, because when I'm testing my E8400 on 4.2Ghz, temps are getting warm (74*).
Take it care
Thanks

I say a xigmatek s1284 with the bolt-through kit or a CM hyper 212.
If not those then the OCZ vendetta 2.

Were you telling about that cooler: Xigmatek HDT-S1284 Achilles ?

Go water and you will get those temps under control.
Otherwise I would say the S1283 myself.

I would stay away form the 1284 Achilles due to the wider spacing on the heatpipes. The 1284 EE is the newer version that works better.

It looks like Xigmatek/Newegg raised the price on the bracket, I paid $7 for mine a month or so ago.
It still is really hard to beat a lapped TRUE with dual fans if you are going to really push a high overclock though.
