I use to have a TRUE, but sold it when I thought I was leaving the PC gaming, but I'm back now.

I want to overclock again so what should I get? I want something that will work with C2D's and i7's for the future. I also want easy mounting similar to the TRUE. I've been looking at another TRUE, Coolermasters V8, and a dual fan Noctua (forgot the model num). Any recommendations? I would probably go dual fan on the TRUE aswell. I would like it to be less then $80 or so. The cheaper the better.
 
I'm too lazy these days to water cool. I had a custom kit back in the day and I'm always tempted to go back now that watercooling stuff is so much cheaper then it was like 6 years ago, but I'm not ready to go back yet. I want to stick to air.
 
I would say get another True. They have mounting brackets to use your old true with the new i7's.
 
lapped + washer modded TRUE, or Prolimatech Megahalems, or the thermolab "BARAM," or the Noctua NH-U12P, or

One notch down in price:

one of the 4 heatpipe HDT sinks (sunbeam Core Contact Freezer and Xigmatek 1284, OCZ Gladiator Max).

Or: To be released, or are these available yet?:

Coolermaster v12 (price?), Xigmatek Thor's Hammer (4-pipe HDT + additional pipes + aesthetic win IMO)

Also: TR IFX-14 > TRUE at high heat loads. It can also use 3 fans.

Thor's Hammer: http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/showthread.php?t=214519 (scroll down)

http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=808&p=2 - Megahalems may beat the TRUE out of the box (TRUE needs lapping/washer)
