    Indeed, it's only 1920x1200 and above that my solo 3870 really encountered issues - with the exception of a couple of games...

    The Xigmatek seems to fare about as well as the Ultra-120A I have. I got mine for quite cheap, about the price the Xigmatek goes for. You may as well go with whichever you can most easily get hold of.

    the vandetta 2 is up there with the tuniq tower and Noctua NF-p12 and TRUE.

    Indeed, the Freezer 7's good for the price, but the Xigma, TRUE, Noctua, Scythe and Tuniq 120mm coolers are in a different league.

    Put it this way, my temps are nearly 10 degrees Celcius lower with a TRU-A (not even the extreme) with no fan at all than with the freezer running at maximum speed, a noisy max speed at that.

    no, the Scythe Ninja.
    The coolers I'm referring to are:
    Thermalright Ultra-120 (A or Extreme)
    Scythe Ninja
    Noctua NH-U12
    Tuniq Tower
