    Ambient temps in here are always under 75.

    Looking at that one. I like the mounting bracket on it a bit better than the VenomousX.

    Megahalems (or its successor the Super Mega) both come without fans premounted and the already mentioned Venomous-X. After using several other fans on overclocked builds for the past years I'm currently using a Megahalems with a single scythe fan and am somewhat pleased with its performance.

    It's all about airflow and keeping the air moving over the fins of the heatsink. If air isn't moving, heat transfer is occurring at a slower pace, which could limit performance. (hah, maybe a couple degrees difference, but whatever)
