Grab yourself a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo 

 

 

Noctua nh-d14

 

 

Either of these.

Nh D14 is the best performance wise. Hyper 212(what I am using) is the best for the price.

what about the thermalright silver arrow? 

 

They are within a degree of each other. I think the silver arrow actually beat the Noctua by less than 1C. I would just get the cheaper one. 

 

EDIT: Looks like I'm wrong! The Silver Arrow is the winner: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/thermalright-silver-arrow_5.html

But it seems to be more expensive than the Noctua.

They're more or less the same.

The NH-D14 sounds quieter but they register the same noise level.
