Cooler for i7 950

[Beebu]

Have an i7 950 in a haf 922 and looking for some cooler suggestions.

So far the frio & v6gt are at the top of my list, but want to make sure they fit in the case if anyone has any experience putting either in a 922.

My max budget is around $70, and I'm buying in the US.

vote for Prolimatech Megahalems...i have one on my i7 930 in an CM RC-690, very chilly

I was just about to post the same question!
Got my i7-950, looking for a cooler as well.

I read dozens of reviews on the two models your looking at and they both got stellar reviews...

Honestly, the only reason I'm still looking around is that I'M TRYING TO FIND ONE THAT ISN"T THE SIZE OF A DAMN SHOE BOX!

Only downside is it doesn't come with fans, and I'd assume it'd be another ~$30 to toss two decent fans on it, making it ~$90 as opposed to the $55 frio.

I'd just hate to buy the frio to find out that it won't fit in the 922, whereas the megahalems should definitely fit.

The Noctua coolers are pretty highly rated...and quiet.
