Depends how you use it.

Me, i use stock cooling (for now).

What i have done is have a side fan, with the funnel attached (the one included in the case so that the CPU could get cooler air...). This blows cold air DIRECTLY onto the CPU, dropping my temps by 5 - 10*...

Now if I had a cooler like this, my temps would be amazing.

Plus the excess air cools the components around the CPU. Case fans take the heat out afterwards...


Now with a tower (zalman 9700), if you have a rear exhaust fan, it should make it more effective, but seeing as it doesnt use cold air to cool the fins, i believe my method would work better...

Don't know which is best... Probably tuniq tower. I have the coolermaster geminii which is pretty decent cooling wise, but kinda too big.
