This, or the Coolermaster Hyper 212+. Really not much else to say TBH.

corsair h50,h60,h70,to h 100 too quiet.

lol, love all-in-one package water coolers.
depends on your chips heat signature, mine stays cool at lower than body temp with H5O
but I'm tepted to stick peltier panel in there just for heck of it.
if you want to go without water, noctua makes awesome heatsinks,
and I always was fan of Zalman, ZM 9700 LED was my favorite.

I think the TT Firo aesthetically looks great on the CH5 and it does a great job for the CPU cooling also. You can look at the images of it if you look through the review of the CH5 in this section of the forums

I swear by old school Kandalf LCS it has a radiator the size of a 4x4 oil cooler (actually I think thats what it is) and a pump that has been running for over 5 yrs, uses over a quart+ of coolant and will cool all your needs given the correct water blocks.
I even bought a few scrappers off of ebay for spare parts but never needed one yet. They are discontinued now but if your lucky there may be one lurking on ebay ..LOL theyre big, heavy and not great looking but they work!

1100 BE Liquid Cooled, CHV, 16Gig Corsair Vengeance 1866 @ 2032, two ASUS ATI 3870's liquid cooled O.C.ed to 890Mhz, 3 Velociraptor 500G in raid 0, ocz SSD boot drive, 1200W Thermaltake P.S.

I swear by the Noctua NH-D14. Dont know about it fitting in that case. ITS HUGE!!! Look around. The NH-D14 typically outperforms the H50. Totally silent. I can hear my Radeon HD 6950 2GB over the NH-D14.

I run a Corsair H-50 in my back up CHIII with a PII 965 x 4 oc to 3.9 and a H-80 on my CHV with a PII 1090t X6 oc to 4.025 and both stay very cool and quiet. Both have push pull fans.

Being ingnorant and ingnored one post at a time.
