Hi i am building a new PC and need help to pick a good HSF my specs are below:
Intel E8400 (will be OCed to 4 GHZ and beyond if possible)
Abit IP35 Pro XE
2Gb Patriot 800 MHZ LLK (4-4-4-12)
Thermal Take 750 watt PSU
Saphir 4870

cause i live in IRAN there are not many options about having every component i want and i have to deal with what is available anyway
my choices are Thermal Take Blue Orb , Big typhoon ,V1 or zalman 9700LED or Tunig tower 120 or OCZ vandetta so which one performs better for OCing my CPU.
Thanks in advance

The E8400 thermal design power is 65w. At stock speed (3.0GHz) it runs at 65w, which means it should run cooler then frostytech's 85w thermal test.
The more you overclock, the more watts, & the hotter it gets. If you overclock it to 4.0GHz at 1.35v it should be closer to 100w.
