Your favorite cooler?

[peekama]

I'm getting ready to build a new gaming rig, and I wanted to know which coolers the pros use.
The new machine is going to be a q6600 on a P5Q Pro, any suggestions? I know some coolers are too big for certain boards.

I like Zalman coolers for their beauty but they are not thee most effective coolers on the market and they are kinda expensive.

I've heard positive things about Thermalright and OCZ Vendettas lately.

I love my TRUE

I'm a fan of the TRUE, although the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 is the best bang-for-buck cooler you can get right now.

i'm rockin arctic cooling freezer pro 7's on my 805d and my e4300.

for 25$ a piece, they're doing what they need to do.

My Zalman 9500 has been doing a great job for 2 years now.

 

[flak-spammer]

I gotta say the TRUE has to be my fav.

Fuzion v2?

Any cooler that's loaded down with COLD BEER!!!!!!

That's my favorite cooler! Sorry couldn't resist.

TRUE is a good cost/performance in my book.

 

[Zoogle]

Xiggy. Just too cheap to pass up on that performance. Retails around $35-40. Won't break the board in half, or your piggy bank.

I love my zerotherm nirvana best cooler i have ever owned. I hated my True because if I wanted to move my PC I had to brace it so it didn't brake my mobo. The TRUE is 60 USD and the Nirvana is 50 USD with free shipping and just as good cooling.

Xig HDT FTW.

I'm with the Chemist!

It's hard to beat a lapped TRUE and a 38mm fan.

 

[Nenu]

TRUE 120, its big but thats good!

I <3 my Ultima-90, but any of the big tower coolers will serve you well.

Xigmatech, TRUE, Noctua, Zerotherm

Xigmatek HDT-S1283 - seemed to be able to keep my new Q9550 idling (when it was stock) at almost room temperature! (slight exageration).
