Silverstone AR01 Argon on mine...seems to work fine
Noctua NH-D14 for me.
We need a poll to see which ones are the most popular
Was a Thermaltake Big Typhoon, but left that on the old motherboard so currently using stock 4670k cooler until I can evaluate swiftech's new H220X.

Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 on a intel e5500, of course i'm satisfied
Got one computer using a Noctua L9i on an i5 3330, and my other computer using a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo with a pair of SP120 performance fans on it, cooling an OC'd Phenom II X4 940. Used to use a Delta AFC1212DE fan on it.
Most machines are stock cooler, though I have replaced some fans, both cooler and case, typically for quieter models, though some are just for worn, cheap bearings.
A couple of machines do have aftermarket coolers. IIRC, Xigmatek, though I'd have to look up the invoice to be sure of model numbers.
How do I rate them? Doing the job perfectly well. And the "job" is cooling. I don't give 3/4 of 5/8th's of naff-all what they look like, any more than I care what the fan or my car rad looks like. Does it work? Does it last a decent lifetime? Is it decently quiet? If so, great. Do I care if it's shiny copper colour, or dull grey? Do I hell. And do I care if it glows a pretty colour? Not one iota. Tried that, don't care for it. My PCs are tools, not fashion statements.
I use a Deepcool Ice Matrix 400 cooler , The main thing form me has always been how much performance am I getting for the price and I am glad to say that this little cooler gives me a satisfactory performance . Some of the other coolers are quite noisy and expensive whilst this cooler is quite and uses anti vibration padding to make sure that it doesnt make much noise . It is only £30 so maybe a product to consider if your on a budget!

Intel stock cooler. Very loud and annoying. For anything even remotely awesome I'd have to import it and would cost as much as an R9 270.
Life is hard.
Noctua NH-C12P SE14, to replace a intel stock cooler.
Phanteks TC-14PE on a delidded i7 4770K OC 4.2 rig and a Noctua NH-D15 on a new i7 4790K non-delidded (for now) OC 4.5. For my use, I have yet to see a reason for risking a water system.
Diito here - all six cores busy 98-100% on 4 hours (realtime) worth of coding on Handbrake's medium setting and with a 21C ambient I peaked at 41C (according to Asus's bundled utils). Okay that's only a 4GHz o/c'd not 4.7GHz like yours - but I'm using air (Noctua NH-D14).Originally Posted by dfour
PS your system specs say 4.5GHz not 4.7
PPS, nice spec on that w/c setup - much envy here. And envy for the two extra cores - I could do with those for these DVD transfers (to tablet because I'm on my hol's soon).
