Pretty much this. Listening to my friend's stock i5 760 cooler is like standing next to a running propeller engine. You could get a Hyper 212+ like me, which I got for $20 on an NCIX weekend in-store sale.

H100 sounds like a jet engine on boot, but then it becomes much quieter after that, lol

I'm using a Zalman copper 8700 with a modified fan for my i7 2700k. Although thinking about replacing it with something beefier.

still waiting for H100 to become affordable again...almost got it for $67 during boxing day if it wasn't for ME's crappy checkout system.

I can't pay $100+ for a heat sink:tosd:

Looks like a clone of the Noctua.. Problem is I have a SFF case so low profile is key. Might get something like a thermalright ax140 or the scythe big shuriken rev2
