    Which the cooler I should buy ?

    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.
    when some say "why mod?" i say "why not mod?"

    Tagan Black Pearl case
    750w corsair PSU
    CM hyper 212 HSF
    EVGA 750i FTW
    4 GB of DDR2 RAM
    E6750 @ 3.2Ghz
    320 GB HDD
    EVGA GTX 260

    Go water and you will get those temps under control.

    Otherwise I would say the S1283 myself.
    Intel - XFX 680i LT, Q6600, OCZ DDR2 8500 4gig, 9800GTX, CoolerMaster 650W PSU, X-Fi Extreme SB, Win 7 Ultimate x64 OS, Raptor X, Sceptre Komodo, Thermaltake Psunami case

    AMD - GA-790FXTA-UD5, 965BE, Mushkin Blackine PC3 15000 4gig, Diamond 4870x2, Corsair HX1000W PSU, Raptor 150gig, Win 7 Ultimate 64 OS, Samsung 2493HM, Cosmos S case

    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.
    Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835233023 and here for the bracket: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835233020
    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.
