    Which NF4 cooler to get?

    OK I still have the stock NF4 Northbridge fan on my Asus A8N Deluxe, and it's pissing me off. It keeps making these horrible noises, and I think it's time for a change. I want something good which will at least let me keep the same overclock (although this shouldn't be hard with such a small fan). So what should I be looking at?

    The answer seems to be the Zalman NB-47J. I got one the other day, but am yet to fit it as one has to remove the mobo to remove the stock fan.

    From what I've heard it doesn't impede them.

    I'm not bothered about sound anyway, as at the moment my PC is fairly loud (Delta Screamer etc. (with fan controller)). However I am considering Water Cooling. For now just assume noise isn't an issue.

    This would be my intention,,, but I haven't purchased a Water Cooling kit yet. What would you recommend?

    I've heard good things about the Swiftech H20-120-FK...
