What do you use for cooling? Is Air still the standard? POLL

The $20 air cooler worked way better then the Antec 620. It was louder then I was willing to put up with though.

Noctua nh-d14... My 3820 is 30C idle stock. 37-39 idle OCed to 4.5ghz ad stays around 40 under use. Benchmarks will push it as high as 58. Fans are basically silent.

Nh-d14= majorly satisfied.

Scythe Shuriken revision B
On a 3570K.
Heatpipe (three copper pipes) and a low profile fan.
It builds high enough to clear the DDR3 and the 'military grade' protection on the MSI Z77A-G45, so this should be OK for a lot of builds.
Really quiet, normally don't hear it.

Corsair H80 for i7-2600k @ 5.0GHz

Noctua NH-D14 as well. I base my purchase on silentpcreview. Together with a Silverstone FT02, i think it works out pretty well considering the fact I'm living in a tropical country with an average temperature of 32 degree Celsius all year round.

I've got an H80 in my bitfenix prodigy, temps are around 25-30 which I think is fairly good, seeing the case is literally cooled by the H80 pulling in air, and a 240mm fan at the front, and naturally vents.

I'm looking to get rid of the H80 and replace it for a Noctua air cooling either using the NH-C12P SE14, NH-L12 or the NH-C14, haven't quite made my mind up yet, also need to check which will fit in the prodigy.
