The best air cooler

[The Amish Kid]

What is the best air cooler? Right now I have a zalman 7000b-cu but I want somthing that is better. I was thinking the thermalright xp-120 or maybe the zalman 9500. Of course there's also the thermaltake big typhoon. Which one is the best though?

'Best' is much too subjective to give a firm answer to your question.

There's a sticky in this very forum with reviews and advice on each current revision cooler.

My personal recommendation is a Scythe Ninja if it'll fit your case. Otherwise XP-120 if it'll fit your board, or SI-120 if you need extra clearance over the RAM/Mobo components.
