I finally got tired of wondering which is better so I just ordered a Corsair H100 and 2 Scythe UK 3000s. Watch this space for comparisons between it, Phanteks PH-TC14PE and Silver Arrow SB-E.

System specs:
Intel 3770k @ 4.6GHz (load voltage 1.202v)
Asrock Fatal1ty z77 Pro
Gigabyte Radeon HD 6950 2GB (unlocked)
G.skill Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) @ 1866MHz
Crucial SSD CT128M4SSD2 128GB M4
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
Corsair 800DW case
Antec Formula 7 Thermal Paste (I applied a small amount to the centre of the CPU)
I used Aida64 for 30 minutes to stress the CPU and monitor temps
Computer was left idle for 15 minutes prior to each test. There is a temp sensor on the case which records the room temp. It also has a probe which is inside the case (next to the motherboard) The fan controller also has 4 temp sensors placed at various points around the inside of the case. Ambient temperature and temperature inside the case were taken at the start, after 15 minutes and again at completion. The average temperature was recorded.
Delta temperature is the average core temperature at load minus the average temperature inside the case
