Id have to say a thermalright ultra-120. Put a nice quiet 120mm fan on it and your set. the only downside i have to the cooler is that it only installs in a way that the fan is blowing up (at psu) or down (at gpu). but.. thats only on socket 939.

Or, in my opinion, and if you have the room, a coolermaster gemin II. Its huge, but, it cools. ive got it on a C2D E6400, Overclocked to 2.9 something, and im gettin idle temps of around 30, and i havent seen load go over 42ish. Plus, ive got the ram and passive heatpipes of the chipset about 7 degrees celsius cooler too.

Hard to benchmark the Thermalright Ultra-120 because every site uses a different fan. The guys over at AnandTech get better results than what NeoSeeker got.

Oh, Thermalright will be coming out with an Extreme version of the Ultra-120. They added 2 more heatpipes to it. Here's a sneak peak.

I was browsing Thermalright's website and they have a preview of their next cooler. It is called the IFX-14.
