After multiple hours spent reading reviews, ocn threads, and vacillating between the myriad of different options out there, I've narrowed my choice down to two final contenders. I'm gonna go with this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835154001

or this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835202007

For those of you who are thinking, "If he's read as many reviews as he said he has, he must know that a TRUE would be his best option," I realize that a TRUE is the best out there, but as I will be paying for this with my newegg preferred account (my financial situation dictates that I do so), I have to go with the best that's available to me. I've heard some good things about both of these heatsinks, but I was hoping to get some advice from some of my ocn buddies before I made the purchase.

Thanks in advance.

Definitely the Tuniq of the two

Tuniq as everyone will say

OCZ Vendetta 2. It beat the TRUE in the benchmarkreviews test and was the top performer of them all. Not sure why everyone says Tuniq since the TRUE outperforms Tuniq and the OCZ outperforms the TRUE and it comes with a good fan as well.

OCZ OCZTVEND2 120mm gets my vote.

I'd probably opt for the Vendetta 2 myself, if just to have something different and not significantly better/worse.

He said he couldn't order from anywhere but newegg. So the Ocz vendetta 2 is out of the question as well as the TRUE. Tuniq Tower gets my vote

OCV 2 is newly arrived at the Egg!

Or you could save some money and get the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler
It has the same Heatpipe Direct Touch design that the OCZ is designed on and scored nearly as well in the same benchmarkreview testing.
The Kingwin is even cheaper but, the fan assembly is suspected to not be the same quality as the Xigmatek; and it's premounted, so horror stories of tying to install on s775.
Cheers

Tuniq? Tuniq!

Oh crap...THAT'S why my system is running so hot. I thought you all were telling me to put a TUNIC on my CPU!

Doh!

OCZ Vendetta 2 is the best cooler on the market right now. And its quite a bit cheaper than a TRUE.
