Swiftec mc462a is the best. But there are a bunch of coolers which are fairly close and a lot cheaper.

Post a message in the cooling section for more details.

also, kt7 ? Maybe get the kt7a It's a better board.

CAK38 cools good!

get sk-6 and you'll not regret if you dont mind a little noisy

Actually looking at the latest anandtech heatsink shootout it looks like the swifty's losing out to the PAL8045 which is my personal favorite, with a relatively quiet 80mm fan <like my sunnon HO> its quiet and still a good performer, the SK6 is a decent performer but then theres that massive noise from the delta fan

I'm surprise nobody has mention the latest Swiftech MCX462 Heatsink. Yes, It also got helicoid pins like its little brother MCX370. The pins is now increase to 371 from 261. Finally it comes with the 69cfm Delta fan. This Swiftech heatsink is gonna claim its overclocking crown back. It will be available after November 2 and I already preordered mine. $69.99 well spent.

+'s ... keeps **** cool, fan is easy to take on/off (if you wanna change it)

-'s...loud as all hell...i soundproofed my case tho :)...it's also pretty damn heavy

I have used a SK6 with a YS Tech 40 CFM fan for about a month and a half now. I just ordered up a PAL8045 with a Delta 68 CFM 80 MM and we'll see how it performs in comparison.
