I think the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme is the best air cooler out there; closely followed by the Tuniq Tower 120 which does look a bit meaner.

Do a few google searches for reviews.

Just be aware these things are absolutely HUGE and weigh at least twice the amount most motherboards are rated to carry (obviously people use them anyway) just don't make any sudden movements of your PC case.

Happy googleing ;)
