Heatsink + Fan Suggestions

I honestly want a legitimate choice between every person who replies.

Please pick from this pre-obtained search (It is a power search with every fan and heatsink combo that will be compatible with the LGA 775)

I want a Combo that not only provides great cooling but also looks amazingly awesome for $60 or less

LED's or other lights are a major plus.

If you want to suggest 2 or three then it will still help and will help me narrow it down.

A few that have caught my eye so far are these:

This one due to the lights, I am very strongly attracted towards this one

Slightly this one because of lights also

This one due to dual fans

This one just looks like a beast


As always, you guys are just awesome.

The Tuniq Tower is nice out of those that you've selected.

However, take a look at the ones mentioned on this page and make your final pick.

I am very close to deciding on the Tuniq as the first response goes along with my gut decision. (Ya, I know it doesn't take much to persuade me, lol)

Anyone else gonna recommend anything?

The Xigmatek HDT-S1283 is the best choice IMO; pair it with a good fan like the Scythe Kaze Jyuni or Yate Loon\Nexus D12SL-12, and you'll have a fantastic cooler for a great price.

Also I want a combo package not buying the heatsink and fan apart Rage.

Okay...So the looks seems to matter most there...

In that case the Tuniq would be the best bet in terms of performance and looks. However, like you said, that Rosewill does look mean.

Couldn't agree with you more on going with Scythe / Yate Loons. Most of the HSFs today are spawned clones of theThe Xigmatek HDT-S1283. Great choices there.

The HDT-S1283 does come with a fan; it's not that bad though, since the HSF's stock performance is on par with the more expensive TRUE.

My Brother In-Law told me that the Duo-Orb was a good one, I was actually thinking of getting it before I got my Liquid Cooling System.
