ya i was briefly looking earlier and was kinda thinking on this thermaltake one http://www.pccanada.com/viewitem.asp?id=4175. from the ones i was looking at this had a high CFM, 77.85 CFM, what does that mean? i'm assuming higher is better? and it also had a low dBA, 17 dBA, thats noise level right? which means lower is better, lol

CFM is Cubic Feet per Minute, a measure of airflow, so more is better. DBA is the noise measure, so lower is better. The thermaltake weighs in at 896 grams, which is heavier than the recommended weight of 450 grams. Hard to find a high performing HS at that low a weight though. Looks like you need to remove your motherboard to install based on the TT website.

I have a Zalman Fatal1ty hsf. Its huge but does a great job. System is super quiet. and my temps are excellent. Idle 35, load 42. I would recommend this one hands down.
