My temps are pretty high on my Q9550 since the current cooler I am using is crap 40C Idle, anyways I was wondering if I should either make the move and by the dark knight/mugen 2 with the money I currently have or wait it out and get a Megahalem in the future ?
Thanks

If your looking at the dark knight I would look at the Scythe mugen 2. It cools better than the dark knight and it is slightly cheaper. It really depends on how far your overclocking. a mugen 2 will get you closer to megahalem temps, but if your looking to OC as far as possible then save up for a megahalem.

I say that you wait for the Megahalem. It's better to wait a little bit and get top of the line instead of rushing out and getting a mid-grade cooler.

I am probably going for a 3.6 to 4.0Ghz OC since my vid is also really low 1.215

For what it's worth, Megahalems is overpriced just for slightly better air cooling temps. The Dark Knight is an excellent cooler and much cheaper. The Mugen has a few bucks on it but personally I find it ugly as sin. It looks like a giant block of metal you could knock someone out with.

A push/pull setup with a Xiggy keeps any CPU amazingly cool.

Personally, I say wait for it and get a TRUE/Megahalem/IFX-14.

It'll mean you never have to upgrade for a long time.

If you're in SoCal, the Microcenter in Tustin (right off of Edinger) has the Megahalem for $49. That's only $10 more than a Dark Knight. GET IT.
