Hi, i am trying to decide on a heatsink
from my research i believe that the best cooler is the Thermalright Ultra Extreme:

Also i believe that the Noctua NH-12p is a good cooler:

Any thoughts? any other reccomendation would be appreciated that re more value for money

thanks!

The thermaltake 120mm is a very good cooler. You can use 2 120mmfans.
But you only need one. A little loud, but very impressive. Imo.
