ok im gonna have to make a trip to best buy on Tuesday since they have the H70 for 80bucks, but here is another product to throw into the mix The Cool It Vantage A.L.C./ Cool It ECO A.L.C. / Hydro H70. Which would you recommend for me with the spec's i have. Obviously i want a great self contained water cooling unit so i can finally OC my CPU w/o any heating problems. Thanks guys

Water cooling isnt exactly necessary for you overclock, and air system will do just fine if you wanted to save a little money. The 955 usually can be overclocked with an air cooler to 3.9-4.0ghz. If your worried about space i think the ALC is a little big. i think the H70 is a little smaller. ive hear they are all pretty good though, but i think i trust corsair more.
 
yea you can cool on air fine...honestly i think i need to work on my h50 a little, its hitting 50s right now...a little hot...
 
You'll still have a fan with the H70...

I'd recommend getting a decent air cooler and a nice quiet fan to go on it. It'll perform better than the H70, and probably be cheaper as well.
 
ok guys i picked out the ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler from newegg.com. I already have two 120mm fans in my Haf 912 that came with it. One in the front and one in the back. I want to know what u guys would recommend for fans for this case. Options - Front: 2 x 120mm fans or one 200mm fan. Top: 2 x 120mm fans or one 200mm. Side: One 120mm fan or 140mm fan. I would love to get your opions on which brand/CFM/dBA you would recommend also what fan control u would also suggest Im thinking of the NZXT SEN-001LX Sentry LX Aluminum dual bay fan controller also from newegg.com

That Noctua NH-D14 looks amazing and everyone is raving about it but i dont think it would fit in my case

Also the fan housing color im not a fan of"no pun intended" I wised it was black...oh well. Any fan choices for the rest of my case
 
I got the coolermaster hyper 212+ for 30 because it came highly recommended for a mere 30 bucks. I did end up getting some replacement fans to increase it's efficiency, but even with the 2 fans plus the arctic silver 5 it was only 70. It should be small enough to fit in that case, if not you can try the coolermaster geminii or other type of low profile cooler. H70 seems a little high priced to me, and since you need fans anyway, I would just get a good air cooler for 1 or 2/3rds of the cost.
