Well I recently brought 3 different water coolers (2 top brands) one fairly cheap one and then I brought 3 air coolers. After taking about 4 days worth of test I found that with 2 120mm fans the Prolimatech beats ALL water cooling systems and others easy. average temps with Prolimatech at 4431.1MHz 38 idle 58-61 full load. Water cooling systems averaged about 40-42 idle and 67 full load at 1st thought I couldn't believe this but after reading many reviews others have had same opinions.
The fans I brought however are 4000rmp using the push pull effect. For this cooler however you will need a full size tower because with both 120mm fans its rather HUGH! and beware of certain clearances as far as memory I'm using OZC 1333mhz 7-7-7-16 1t and so far temps are stable and overclock has been solid I'm sure I can easy push 4.5Ghz on air with this cooler.
For those that want to know I"m using:
Case:
Coolmaster 932 HAF
Prolimatech w/2 120mm fans (push pull)
6gb OCZ 1333 Triple Channel
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
i7 930 (4431.1MHz)
750W Corsair
