    I'm currently looking for a new CPU cooler.
    My arctic freezer pro 7 doesn't make a full contact with my CPU (no idea why?!?! ideas)and it's limiting my overclock it seems as i can't cool it enough. However i'm also planning on my first Mod over the summer including creating a transparent side panel. Therefore i want the cooler to look pretty good! I like the akasa venom and titan fenrir evo.

    I want your opinions people!

    Oh, and it's for skt 775

    Depending of what you want: Low Noise or the lowest Temperature

    The Titan Fenrir is really popular these time but Its only one good among many other. For ememple the Noctua NH-D14, Tuniq Tower 120, Spire Thermax Eclipse II, 3Rsystem Iceage 120 Boss II and of course my OCZ Gladiator Max 120 who did a Good Job hehe

    Olimorgan has a good point. No sense in splashing out on a new cooler if the same problem reoccurs... I'd would definitely try to find out why your arctic isn't seating properly before you launch at another model.
