noctua heatsink
thanks for the reply like the noctua because it already comes with a good fan and according to the reviews doesn't need to be lapped out of the box .read a recent review that the noctua went toe to toe with the 120 extreme .anybody else that has one and can report on its performance it would be greatly appreciated.thanks again

Generally the flatness of the base is based on luck.
You gotta be lucky that your CPU is flat, and lucky that your heatsink is flat. That is why you lap both.
The noctua does go toe to toe with the TRUE. Doubt you'd go any better with aircooled systems. Only the best watercooling systems would beat these giants...

The Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme and the Tuniq Tower 120 are excellent HSFs. The NV120 is awesome as well, and may end up being cheaper since it ships with a fan. Also, look at the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 as an equally-excellent cheaper alternative. The absolute best HSF though has to be the OCZ Vendetta 2.
If you're looking to get a third-party fan, then get either one of these: Scythe S-Flex SFF21F, Scythe Kaze Jyuni "Slipstream" 120mm 1200RPM\1900RPM, Yate Loon D12SM-12, Panaflo L1A\H1A
The Kaze Jyuni comes in many flavors, although a faster fan means a louder one. My personal favorites are the Panaflo fans. The L1A cranks out 70CFM at a relatively quiet 30dBA while the H1A throws 100+ CFM at 40dBA.
