Thermalright Ultra Extreme (TRUE) is a good one but you will need to buy a 120mm fan as well. For quiet running, get a PWM fan (I use arctic cooling but there are others)

Xigmateks are a lot cheaper, come with a fan and match (or beat) the TRUE's performance.
TRUE is the old king, xigma is the new king.

The Xigmatek S1283 Red Scorpion fan looks pretty good, quiet with good airflow. Assuming the cooler uses the same black/red fan with white LEDs that's available to buy separately. 20dB with 61CFM.

I have the Xiggy S1283 Red Scorpion, would highly recommend it. :toast:

No question about it Xiggy S1283 all the way. Make sure you get the bracket with it so you do not need to use push pins.
