Air Cooling, CPU

[Torezen]

What is a very good Air Cooling system for an i7 CPU?

[iamoverrated]

Depends on which i7? Are we talking 1366, 1155, or 2011?

Are you wanting to overclock or are you looking for a replacement that is quieter and performs much better at stock clocks?

What case are you using? I need to know the clearance you'll have.

What's your price range? Are you looking at something around $20, $50, $75?

Do you want something with an interchangeable fan?
Do you want something that comes with an LED fan?
If so, what color?
Alternatively, are you trying to match a specific color scheme?

Need to know the basics before I can recommend anything solid.

I will really like to get my hand on a Phantek, they are made by the same OEM manufacturer who build the Noctua, you can from the video that many parts look exactly the same, especially the mounting kits and their bags. The backplate is the same one Noctua use.

^ +1 to tis, my i7 950 is way way hotter then a 2600K at the same frequency, as it should be my processor is 130 watts, a 2600K is 95 watts.
