Seeking opinions on best heatsink/fan for socket 1366

[Kilyin]

Looking to take a system from watercooling back to air, and haven't kept up with the industry as of late. What's the best heatsink out there now for this architecture?

I used coolers like the Mega Shadow and they worked very well. I ran a 990x @ 4.8ghz for a very long time in push pull config.

Prolimatech, definitely have read articles about them. However, it looks like that particular cooler has been discontinued. I guess I should add, this is going on a Rampage 3 Extreme with high profile RAM, so that will be a deciding factor as well.

Dang they sure are

Here you go tho, try this one, looks very good and has the same mounting system which is very good.

I sent my Mega Shadow off to Movieman as I have been using a Thermaltake WATER2.0 Extreme CPU Cooler.
But I used that Mega for a very long time.

Why not just get a Corsair Hydro series? They probably have better performance than most heatsinks out there and leave you with plenty of space for high profile RAM

Has been reviewed a few places as beating the corsair h100

The phanteks one in my sig has been reviewed by a few places and just about every other high end cooler on the market, but its huge and expensive.

With the right fan, the Venomous X is a potent cooler. If you can take the noise, a 120x38mm Delta fan is great.
