Hot CPU is hot..
Ah yes - a guy in the clan I was with built a new rig in one of those... though it was the pink one 
If you've got room, go for a full custom loop with a swiftech mcp355, a decent sized rad (240 or 280 if it'll fit), 1/2" ID tubing and I like Feser One coolant (non-conductive). I've also got one of these: http://koolance.com/rp-401x2-single-5-25in-reservoir-for-1-2-pmp-400-pumps and can't recommend it highly enough. Fits the reservoir and a pump in a single 5.25" bay very neatly, has easy filling ports and room for a second loop if you decide to go for water cooled graphics down the line.
It'll be pricey, but it'll last you several builds

The above is very cheap, it just means removing the case and holding it near ya cpu while surfing

Nice CPU Ron, it says it is easilly overclockable to 5 Ghz mate.
Nearly £9 cheaper at ebuyer.

All the reviews I have read points to the Kraken X60 being the coolest, only by a couple of degrees though, the H100i, seems to be the most popular and Dabs have them for £90. A lot of rumbling about the noise of the H100i, but it seems the latest firmware may have fixed it, or you could get some quieter fans if it is too noisy. The swiftec H220 is a all in one cooler, but it is also expandable, so you can add more stuff to it, another rad, another heatsinc for you GFX, but they have been out for about 9 months and out of stock for about 8 months ::).
I was going to go for the Kraken X40 single fan radiator because I cant fit a double radiator because of the lid on my case, but the X40 is a 140mm and my rear fan is only 120mm. Then you start looking and see that some double radiators have a gap of 20mm, and some 25mm (can't remember the exact gap) so you have to check the spacing on your case to see which one fits. The gap might not matter but just a heads up for you.

Quote from: purleigh You didn't fancy using liquid nitrogen at -181'C then -
You mean -196'C, surely?
No - I was only stating what the digital thermometer indicated in the video. 
On closer inspection it actually says -181.4'C as can be seen in the screenshot below ! -

Matt's no longer working here unfortunately, though I'll give him a nudge tonight on Steam and ask if he'll pop back here occasionally 
It's a little big....
(Yes, That's what she said, before you start! lol)
But it does the job.
(That's also what she said)
Idling at about 38-40 Degrees, get's as high as 51 degrees when in game

Nice and cool then Mate @ 51 degrees, it will drop even more when the weather gets back to normal
