I know it comes with a decent cooler, but I fear it may be a bit noisy at higher RPMs. What's the best cooler out there for socket 1366 CPUs, particularly this one?
 
Depends if you want to go Air or Water.

If I were buying a new air cooler today I would look at either the Cogage True Spirit ( it's damn close to the TRUE 120 performance wise and less expansive.) or the one I have, Thermalright Ultra eXtreme 120 with a Scythe fan.

On water if I just wanted to cool the CPU I'd likely try the Corsair H50 first, it's reasonably priced and works pretty good from what I hear.

Highly encourage you read these two reviews:

- Titan Fenrir & Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus: Direct Touch Revisited
- Corsair Hydro H50 CPU Water Cooler

They also compare those HSF to other popular ones.

The Prolimatech Megahalems seems to be the one to get.

BTW, based on the review I would actually stay away from the Corsair H50.

I have the Megahalems and it seems to be a great cooler. Ocing currrently and temps are reasonable but not as good as I want and thus I want water. My temps idle from 28c to 35c usually.
