CPU Air Cooler

Cooler Master TPC 812

The first ever CPU heatsink to utilize vertical vapor chamber cooling and combine it with heat pipe technology, TPC 812 is prepared to handle the massive heat generated by overclocking and benchmarking. Vertical vapor chamber working in tandem with heat pipes and a specialized heatsink and fin design allow the TPC 812 to outperform the competition.

SilverStone HE01

The all new Heligon HE01 CPU cooler is designed for both performance and quietness. The wide aluminum fin spacing are specially designed to minimize noise when air travel through its heatsink. The included 140mm fan offer exceptional cooling power, this low noise fan is also adjustable allowing you to decide the right amount of airflow for your CPU. With the include fan clips, up to three 140mm fans can be installed to enable HE01 to obtain cooling performance that rival the best air coolers on the market. The Heligon HE01 is capable of safely cooling high-end CPUs such as the Intel Core i7 3960X. It has the ability to cool CPUs up to 300W.

Zalman CNPS9900MAX-B – CPU Air Cooler

The Zalman CNPS9900 MAX-B combines some of the most advanced technologies in the market used for CPU coolers to create powerful cooling performance. The CPU cooler utilizes composite heatpipe which is 50% more effective in transferring heat compared to ordinary heatpipes. Comes with a whisper-quiet 135 mm blue LED PWM fan positioned between two massive nickel plated pure copper heatsinks.

Enermax ETS-T40-TB

Enter the world of efficient cooling with the Enermax ETS-T40 CPU cooler! Enermax ETS-T40 delivers world leading thermal resistance performance of 0.09°C/W thanks to the combination of three smart innovations: Stack Effect Flow, Vortex Generator Flow and Vacuum Effect Flow. Its four 6mm high-performance heat pipes with HDT (Heatpipe Direct Touch) ensure rapid thermal conduction and eliminate CPU hotspot. Plus, the ETS-T40 features a unique T.B.Silence 12cm Twister Bearing PWM fan to provide persistent cooling efficiency and silence.

Arctic Freezer A30/i30

The Freezer i30 is an enthusiast-grade CPU cooler for the latest Intel socket 2011, as well as socket 1155 and 1156. Patented technologies, direct touch heatpipes, precision machining, a fan vibration absorption and a brand new mounting system offers you plenty of overclocking headroom at a minimal noise level.
The Freezer i30 heatsink consists of 4 double-sided direct touch heatpipes, 8mm in diameter. A patented process (20 2011 000 71.8) allows us to pack the heatpipes without gaps and thus increase the contact surface and achieve better flatness by precision machining – both leading to an improved heat transfer.

Out of all of those, the D14 has been the longest standing and most impressive over time. But I wonder why the Cooler Master 212+ wasn't included. It doesn't have the raw heat dissipation, but even before rebates, it's ridiculously cheap for a tower heatsink that accepts two 120mm fans.
