CPU Heatsink/Fan for Overclocking
I just recently bought a new computer and need some advice on getting an upgraded CPU heatsink/fan.
Right now I am looking at the ZALMAN CNPS9700 110mm.
Newegg.com - ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks
As far as air cooling goes, is there a better heatsink/fan than this one? This seems to be one of, if not, the best air cooling solutions out there.
System Specs:
Antec Twelve Hundred Full Tower Case
OCZ GameXStream 600W PSU
EVGA 780i SLI mobo
Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 3.00GHz
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX
OCZ Reaper 4GB DDR2 1066
2x WD 640GB HDD (RAID 0)

The Zalman is a good one, but there are better ones. The best one is the Thermalright Ultra 120-extreme, but it is expensive. You should lap it and buy a good fan to go along with it, which adds to cost
