Hi i am looking to overclock my new rig, with a Q9450 thus looking to integrate a air cooling fan from either one of the below mentioned manufacturers:

1. ASUS SILENT KNIGHT

2. ZALMAN

3. OCZ Vendetta 2

4. THERMALTAKE/THERMALRIGHT

Computer Rig:

1. CPU: Q9450

2. MOTHERBOARD: ASUS P5Q DELUXE

3. RAM: OCZ REAPER HPC 8500

4. PSU: SILVERSTONE OLYMPIA 700W/CORSAIR TX750W

5. CASING: NZXT APOLLO/THERMALTAKE M9/ENERMAX CHAKRA

6. HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL/SEAGATE 500GB

Appreciate the kind gesture for guiding me in the right way thank you.

OCZ Vendetta 2 or Thermalright Ultra Extreme. Between those I would choose the Vendetta 2 since it costs less and the TRUE requires work to have it perform at its best

I use a Tuniq Tower 120.

Been very happy with it.... if you want lighting they also do a version with an LED fan fitted.

Wait! The AC Xtreme is meant to be released today.. I would really recommend one of them, wish I had the cash right now or I'd buy one to let you know what they're like but.. I don't

It is meant to out perform any cooler on the market at the moment.. we will have to wait and see I guess, OC3D.. review please

+1.

Can't honestly fault the Ninja Copper, been spot on since day one and got this E8400 to 4320MHz safely.
