i’m going to be overclocking an Intel i7 920 from 2.66 ghz to about 4.0 ghz so i need some after-market heat sinks.(i’ve done the research, the i7 920 can reach up to 5 ghz with a top-notch liquid cooler, so 4 ghz will be no problem)
there are two options that i am looking at, one is the Thermalright Ultra eXtreme 120, it’s gotten great reviews, and despite there being no fan, it preforms better than most heatsinks. plus a fan could be easily attached.
i am also looking at the CoolIt Systems Domino A.L.C. Liquid CPU Cooler, it’s cheap for a liquid system, coming in at about the same price as the Thermalright .
which one would work better? are there any others you would suggest?

i got an Intel i7 920, but i haven’t overclocked yet so…..
Thermalright Ultra eXtreme 120 sounds better, but then again the fan which you will have to find the right one to fit with.
