All mentioned are all solid coolers no doubt. I recently changed from a Megahalems to a H100 and can honestly say I'll never go back to putting behemoth heatsinks on my cpu again. They just seem to be getting bigger and bigger that I'm curious to see how much more bigger they can make them.

If going bulldozer you might like to wait, supposedly ships with liquid coolers as standard

The heatsink designers are just gonna make a case sized one now. You have challenged them. +

I think that's only a rumor, though it'd still be pretty cool.

Thanks for the replies so far. Didn't even know about the Zerotherm.

I know this thread is about new CPU heatsinks but I am wondering about two veterans. The Thermalright Archon and the Ven X. Which one is the better buy? Please don't say SA or D14. I move my computer around way too much to have a dual tower monster slung on my motherboard.

Edit: I'm looking at the Ven X RT by the way

I wanna say the Archon, but I'm not sure. It would probably be quieter though as the fans are mega super silent. Might want to get a second opinion, though.

My only concern with the Archon is how freaking tall it is. It's over 170mm high
