I have a HAF 932 case and i am wondering what cooler im gonna buy to overclock my i7-930 CPU. Im also wondering what fans to buy. im looking at Corsair SP120 High Pre. or the Noctua NF-F12. I will not be able to buy the H220 since no stores in norway have it, neither on the web. and if i buy it from US or other countries i would have to pay taxes and shipping and will come up to over 200-250 bucks.

Kraken x60 beats them both by a good margin. It's about a 4 degree difference with similar settings.

Kraken X60 is a great choice.  The Corsair H110 is the same idea.

 

There's also the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme, which is 2x120mm but has a thicker radiator.

I do not care about the looks or noise level of the fans only which one give the best temperatures

2 are a must, but if you want some extra performance you can always add another 2 for push-pull. However, it is not neccessary.

It's a fact that it's better.

Very nice ^_^
