want opions and your vote please, need to replace my Zalman 9700 with something better.

What about the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme? That is generally seen as the best cooler available.

Especially if you get the copper version, though that costs over a hundred dollars.

The TRUE is the best, especially if you lap it.

I just got a s1283 to replace a tuniq; the s1283 is definitely better. And it's cheap. You probably want to get a backplate for it though.

I have a Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme, ive had it from the release date, put a decent 120mm fan on these things and they are awsome.

True 120 black lapped here all good.

I got a TT. I don't think I would buy it again. It doesn't seem to cool to its potential.

I got rid of mine as well. It was just too big and clunky.

Agreed. if u have the $ go with the 120 Extreme.

The xig gets almost the same temps, 2-3 degrees difference, at about half the price. No matter what you choose the tower design of the true or zig is the way to go.

i would say vendetta 2... great cooler at a great price.. the only problem is clamping mechanism is terrible... however once you get it to stay on the cooler is awesome... heres a similar thread i found http://www.overclock.net/air-cooling...detta-2-a.html
