Can anyone recommend cooling?

I am building a new system using the following:
Antec p180
Fortron 550w or Apex ALl-B500E
Asus A8N-SLI
x2 3800+
Corsair 4x1gb ddr 400
eVGA Geforce 7800 GTX.
2 WD Raptor
Audigy 2 zs


The case has 2x120mm, 1x120x38mm, and 1 80m fan bays. I'm not going to be over clocking the system initially but I want enough cooling incase I decide to in the near future.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
 
case cooling wont be your issue, it will be on the processor. You will want to get an after market cooler on that CPU.
 
Get a ThermalRight XP90 + ThermalTake SilentCat 90mm fan from svc.com. Since your not overclocking hardcore/yet its a cheap and quiet solution. Plus it will leave you with plenty of head room for some overclocking.

Or if you want to spend more get a XP120.

I'd have to agree, I have yet to see any cooler beat the combo you suggested. I did try the XP-120 but only got a 2c temp difference. Since the XP-90 was already keeping my 3800 venice at 36c at 100% load while over clocked to 3820 the 2c didn't mean too much.

Luck
