Thread: Which CPU Cooler for 4Ghz OC?

I’m in the market for a great CPU cooler for my new setup i7 920 CPU & P6T Deluxe v2 MOBO.

I will be OC this system to a 4Ghz (at least I will try) so the cooler must be good. The only requirement I have is for it not to be over 160.5 mm in height as my Cosmos S case has a 200mm fan on the side that will restrict anything higher. The 160.5mm is a height of a True 120 so I drought there will be problems as most of them I believe don’t exceed this number. If however there is something out there that is truly great but is over 160.5mm please name it I might end up doing some molding to the fan to accommodate & the cooler need to be socket 1366 compactable.

Thanks

I use the Thermalright Ultra 120 True Black (lapped), with a 120MM 109CFM Cooler Master fan and at 3.6GHz 8 hours of Prime95 it sits around 45C. Of course, the lapping and fan will cost you extra.
