which air cooler is the best out of these
Scythe Orochi Ten Heatpipe with 140mm Fan
Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer
Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme
TRUE
 
the ones i personally know are the better ones is the sunbeam core contact freezer and the TRUE.. but it really depends on what you plan to cool.. some HSF's do better then some depending on the actual wattage/heat output of the processor..
 
I've got the TRUE and i've been very pleased with it, unfortunately though I had to buy a rather expensive bracket to fit to my 1366 board ... even so, its excellent, cools my i7 passively with some case fans nearby :D
 
Another vote for the TRUE. However TR has some new coolers in the works also, so depending on how long it is before they hit retail, you might want to give one of them a try. I know I am waiting for them to come out and get some reviews, I need a reason to buy a new cooler and move my TRUE over to my HTPC so I can run it passive. :D

Based on reviews I have read I would go for the Core Contact Freezer myself. I haven't read anything on this "TRUE" so I don't know about that.

If you haven't read anything about the TRUE, you haven't been paying very much attention to air cooling in a while ;).

haven't had the need to buy one. My Freezer Pro 64 is still doing me well. Granted thats not a good excuse, I shall go educate my self on this TRUE.
 
Wow, it is pretty good, huge though. I am actually ashamed that [h] had a review on it and I never noticed. Now I know what I would go to, although I would measure the inside of my case first to make sure I had room.

TRUE = Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme

It's been out for what, close to two years now? A lot of other coolers have matched it but few if any have beat it decidedly AFAIK.

One issue I do see is availability. I have checked out three of my PC stores so far including Newegg and haven't found the TRUE. Granted that leaves many PC stores I haven't checked.

Newegg carried it for the longest time, as well as a lot of other Thermalright products, lately they don't seem to have any Thermalright stuff though... I dunno, Newegg stock availability can be fickle like that sometimes. Meanwhile they have all the different brand/iterations of the cheaper S1283, heh.

Regardless, it's still available at all/most of the specialty stores I usually visit for cooling products. TRUE @ Coolerguys, @ Sidewinder Computers, @ SVC, @ Jab-tech, etc. That last one had it the cheapest I think but it's the s775 version, the rest all seem to have it with the newer s1336 bracket. I've bought stuff at all those places, great service ('specially at the first two), good luck!
