Xiggy Dark Knight or Megahalems imo, Zalman coolers aren't very good at all.

The CNPS9700 is much better, but how much are you looking to spend? You can get a Cogage TRUE and outperform it.

This is Thermalright's budget brand, but man is it a winner.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for a pretty heatsink, if you would say... I'm getting a new side panel with a window, and I'm finally going to do cable management because of it lol.
