I'd go Xigmatek, although I voted other. (Vendetta 2)

For the money id go with the Xigmatek! Both Xigmatek and the Noctua are great coolers.

Sure the Noctua is a great cooler, but it is huge and may not work in a lot of cases without modification or removal of one of the fans. You remove the push/pull setup and you are taking away a lot of the benefits of the Noctua.

The Xigmatek cools my rig plenty good and full $20.00 (or more) cheaper than both the TRUE or Noctua yet cooling performance is still outstanding.

Hence why I decided to get it over any other option.

Noctua... Also, I would swap the fan for a higher CFM (the one is comes with is only 55CFM), and maybe go push pull...

I am actually going to buy the Noctua NH-U12P when I get the money, and stick 2 1900 RPM Slip Stream fans on it. You will see higher cooling performance, and I feel at least, that it is worth the money

Like a ton of other people have said, they are all relatively close in temps to each other. For how much the Xig costs, I would just go with the Xig and spend 20 bucks on a high cfm+low noise fan
