Depends on your usage and platform.

I personally like the Scythe Ninja.

Please be warned, it is HEAVY.

Take extra care when transporting your pc with that beast mounted.

You need to overclock thru the BIOS.

waht??? sux ka... oh man.... then like tat beside scythe?? any other recommendation?

Hm... you can go for the CNPS9500, at the same price level as the MiniTyphoon, but a lot better. If you can spend more then go for the CNPS9700. The CNPS9x00 will make some moderate noise at full speed, should be tolerable for most of the people.

Unless you really want a very quiet system, then get the Thermalright HR-01 and use a low speed fan on it. The HR-01 has the best noise/performance ratio compared to most of heatsinks out there.

If you want to see the results, a CPU roundup will be posted soon, MiniTyphoon, CNPS9500/9700, XP-120, HR-01 compared

oh... but for the HR-01 its nickel and not copper like zalman... i tot its better to get a copper ones...?

and the minityphoon is cheaper than zlaman 9700/9500

Actually HR-01 has nickel plated copper base/heatpipes and the rest are aluminum.

Using copper doesn't necessarily mean it will always be better
