Wow, that's a proper calculation.

Your best bet is our premium Noctua cooler for mid-range cooling. For extreme cooling it's going to be the Sub-Zero LCS but that's a whole different level.

lol. yes it is.
sounds good. by the premium, you're referring to the DH-14 correct? Yeah, LC isn't in my budget right now. I think i have my config set, just wanted to inquire further on cooling. Thanks.

note that the above equation doesn't apply to the stock heatsink...

overclocking via stock heatsink = overheating. i7 920 OC to 3.33Ghz using stock = 65C Idle, 79C Prime95 Load.LOL

Actually, I think the best value is the 120mm Dual. The DH-14 is the best quality, but the little bro is only a few insignificant degrees behind. Both are whisper quiet.
