Hey all. I've got a 95W i7-860 (Socket 1156), in need of cooling. I've currently got this cooler, and it's... Quite sub-par. It idles at 42C, with no overclock, and maxes around 65C. With NO overclock.

My friend suggested the V8 cooler - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103055

Looks nice but a bit pricey. I'd like to spend 40ish, but I don't mind going over.

On another desktop, I've got this cooler, and I'm considering getting the same. It idles at 26C and maxes at 48C. (When I say maxes I mean during prime95). Granted, it's a 65W cpu and this one is 95, but still impressive to me.

Another suggestion is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835233029
Which I like.

Any other suggestions are appreciated!

Edit: A friend suggested the "Best cooler in the world". I'd go for it if it fits in my case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119206

Go for the Dark Knight dude! One of the best coolers available.

yeah the mega is pretty much the best overall air cooler on the market. I loved mine, and it should fit fine in that mid tower case you showed, i ran mine fine in a nzxt beta, and that case looks about the same size.
any info on the mega, check out my club
