Help me choose a LGA775 cooler

[Goi]

Hi guys,
I'm gonna be upgrading my rig to a C2D, or rather, getting a new C2D rig. It will probably be in a Silverstone TJ-06 case. I'm wondering which of the following coolers would be the best?
Zalman CNPS9700
Apack Zerotherm BTF-90
Scythe Ninja
Scythe Infinity
Thermalright Ultra 120

From what little research I did, I think the Ultra 120 is the best in cooling? Also, what are some cheap places to get them? I know of svc and xoxide and of course the usual newegg.

Scythe Infinity.

1: Get your stuff from Newegg. It's so much easier to deal with Newegg in case of RMA's.

2: The Thermalright Ultra 120 is awesome. I have been able to try both the Tuniq Tower 120 and the Ultra 120. I will keep my Thermalright Ultra 120

I haven't tried the 9700 LED, but it is supposed to be very good'

And the Infinity, well, its mounting system is not too safe for a heatsink that size.

I have a Thermalright Ultra 120 also. It's excellent in my opinion, but can't necessarily say it's better than the others since I haven't used them.

What motherboard are you going to be using? Also, do you want air to blow on the mobo, or do you want air to blow to the back of the case? I have a Thermalright Ultra 120, but I'm looking to get a SI-128 instead, simply for airflow direction.

Tuniq 120

i have the big typhoon cuz my case has a side vent and i adjusted another fan to it...here are more opinions when i asked the same question as you... good luck

I will probably be using it on an Asus P5B-E Plus, but I'm not entirely sure yet. I'll probably want air blowing to the back of the case due to the design of the TJ-06 case I'll be using. I'm not very worried about RMA since I'm actually not in USA anyway. My brother's coming back to visit so I'm buying it and sending it to his address and he'll bring it back to me. Besides, it's a chunk of metal. What's there to RMA?

So, so far it's the Ultra 120 vs the Tuniq vs Scythe Infinity...
