Default Best CPU cooler for i7 920 overclocked to ~3.7?
Title pretty much says it... build will be pretty ventilated to be fair - using an Antec 900 case... I'm just wondering what the best CPU cooler is? I've seen reviews about the Zalman CNPS or w/e it's called, but what you guys think??

Who knows, you might find out you can take it 4ghz on this with little or no volt increase.

Antec 900 is a very small case!!!! You should think bigger... Haf 932.... Thermal Take armour +...

You should get a full size case..... otherwise, the Mega wont fit.. I have 2mm clearance from the cooler to the side panel. And my case is huge... Armour +
