I don't need the best cooler I just need something that will lower my temps I wont be overclocking at all so I just need something that will give me 5C lower temps that would make me happy any more then that and I will be thrilled. Like I said I'm not going to spend $60+ on a CPU cooler that wont be used for overclocking when I build my next system then I will go for the most awesomeness CPU cooler there is until then any thing that is quite and will lower my temps a little is what I wont. Oh yea and the prolimatech megahalems is way to tall.

If you just need a cheaper cooler, the small xigmatek is great, ive used them on some builds before and they work great, even with overclocking.

Like the Xigmatek HDT-S963 and doesn't that allow you to mount an extra 92mm fan on the other side.

One of them does, it might be the 964. Ill check

Notice how both sides have indentations? Those are mounting points. The 964 has two, 963 has one. The 964 also has an extra heatpipe.

Ok then I'll go with the 964 same price so why not then get another 92mm fan and use one for pulling air in and one for pushing air out.

Push pull wont help a whole lot on a smaller heatsink like that, but the extra heatpipe is the best reason to grab it. The only time i would do push/pull on them would be in a case with very poor airflow.

Well I still plan on getting another fan I guess they will both be intake then. I don't think my case has poor air flow well right now maybe but I'm ordering 5 80mm fans since that's how many fan placements my case has but the front has to have 80mm slim fans. I still haven't figured out how I'm going to set the fans up yet I will probably have to experiment with them until I find what is best right now I'm thinking front 2 intake side intake and rear 2 outtake.
