CNPS10x extreme vs v8

Looking for a decent cooler for i7 860, will be running stock for a while until i go water cooling in a few years.

Would like it to be relatively quiet. I have looked at the Megahalems, but its too expensive

you spent the $$$ on the 860 & the GPU, spend the $$$ on a good CPU cooler and you won't need to WC (unless you're going for lots of volts while OCing)

Most of the decent coolers are going to cost some coin but one I can say that does well is the Titan Fenrir. I put one on my brothers DO 920 and he stays n the 60's Celsius at 4.0GHz. Plus its not that expensive where you will break the bank

Scythe Mugen 2 is also a cheaper but decent HSF.

Can vouch for the Megahalems especially when using a Noctua fan like in my sig. IMO its worth the extra $$$ but I am biased.
