A good one would be a Zalman 9500 or the slightly larger (with better temps) 9700.

thats a excellent cooler might go the extra £10 for it, from reviews seems a bugger to install, do u think ill be alright on a p35-ds3l motherbaord from gigabyte and a Thermaltake Soprano Case??

I know the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro looks a bit bland but is a great performer. As for the Zalman 9700, you'll love it. I've got one in another PC and it's one of the easiest coolers to install + it will fit fine in your Soprano Case.

Zalman paste *Imo* has really crappy paste...always best to get some AS5. It should come with a tube of white goo though.

If you havent ordered it yet, i would actually recommend that you go for the Xigmatek S-1283, excellent cooler.
