Mountains of objective data say otherwise.

I got the Raidmax Smilodon case. I am assuming that these will fit? I definately like the "look" if the Zalman the best and for $10 more. Is the CPU fan definately the problem via noise?

What about this?

Saves me $25 and has a lot of good reviews.

I wouldn't assume anything. Best is to pick whichever HSF you are interested and either through Newegg reviews or Google searching find out if anybody else has tested the fit.

For example, before I purchased my Megahalems, I knew from EVGA forums and Newegg reviews that would work with my mobo (some towers are so big they block RAM slots or interfere with other HS) and would work well in the 1200 case, but in the 900 case would require trimming the side fan housing.

I bought this today... Read reviews of people that have it on the exact board that I have. Best bang for the buck. I also saw pictures of it installed on my board.

Stock fan works pretty dang well for me for the 920. It's fairly quiet and does a decent job at cooling. However, I'm not overclocking at this point. No real need to since there's more processor than anything I'm running can use.

If you're not overclocking, make sure your MOBO is set to control fan speed based on temperature if you don't need to run it at 100% all the time.

Anyone know when they will be releasing any more i7 models? I know that the celeron like version is coming out but I'm not interested in those.
