Buying a CPU cooler for i7 920, and MAYBE a new case. - Hardware & Software

As the title says, i'm about to buy a CPU cooler for my i7 920, the stock cooler isn't the best in the world when it comes to overclocking. So, yeah, what's the best aircooler i can get for it's price? ____________________________________________ Also, i'm maybe buying a new case, since the one i already have is a fugly Chieftec case. It's also hard to hide cables in it. Here's a picture: [img_thumb]http://i46.tinypic.com/25qc38k.jpg[/img_thumb] ____________________________________________ Now, i'd prefer if you used [B][U][url=http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=no&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=komplett.no&sl=auto&tl=en]Komplett.no[/url][/U][/B] (No worries, it's translated. :buddy:) I don't really have a budget, but that doesn't mean you should find the most expensive kind of aircooling ever invented. Under 500NOK if possible. The main focus when it comes to the case should be: 1 - How easy it is to hide cables. (Cable management.) 2 - Good, but silent aircooling. (Not 20 small whiney fans clusterfucked all over the place.) 3 - Preferably a Midi tower, my current PSU doesn't even fit my gianormous case. 4 - Not too pricey. Under 1000NOK if possible. ____________________________________________ Specs, if it's important: [B]GPU:[/B] Evga GTX 280 [B]CPU:[/B] Intel i7 920, at standard clocks [B]PSU:[/B] Corsair 750W [B]Mobo:[/B] P6T SE [B]RAM:[/B] 6GB DDR3 [B]Case:[/B] Chieftec, that's all i know ____________ [B] Thank you for your attention.

Oh wow, the last link "translated" the Kr (NOK) into £ (Pounds) without changing the numbers. For a second there i thought you just found the most expensive case ever. Anyways, thank you so much! :buddy: [editline]06:51PM[/editline] Should i use this cooling/thermal paste? [url]http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=302910[/url]

Found it. Thank you sir.

MX-2 is definitely a good choice. The CPU cooler seems decent enough. Good case, but to throw down another option, I'd give the [url=http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=354717]Antec Three Hundred[/url] a look over. One thing I'd change is move the rear mounted 120mm fan to the front as it has no front intake by default. If you like the other case better, that is a good choice as well. Both are good cases.
