I'm currently in a middle of a debate against someone (I will post stuff later), and I need help on best CPU coolers, and objective links prooving they are best.
This guy has a wall of ignorance a mile high

An array of liquid helium misters inside of the case works very well.

Liquid hydrogen is even better.

Clearly,
beer and spirits are the answer.

There aren't many cooling reviews out there, just reports from end-users.
Watercooling remains the best form, as water can carry a lot more heat away than plain air cooling. Air cooling is still good - but that runs a gamut of solutions, from "hair dryer" loud to whisper quiet.

Koolance Exos is the way to go for you.

THanks Vertigo and Phongn, about water cooling, the guy is making a claim that "cipcon" cooling is the best (never mind hes using circuler logic to proove that), but is it really good?

Does he tell you what "cipcon" cooling is? I've never heard of it.
There are three basic cooling methods.
1) Ordinary air-cooling. Using either an aluminium heatsink, an aluminium sink with some sort of copper inset, or a pure copper heatsink with some sort of fan tacked onto it. These have hit the peak of what they can do.
2) Water-cooling. Take a block full of water, tack it onto the CPU and transfer the heat to a radiator. Kinda like cooling a car engine. It's much more effective a cooling method, since water has a really high specific heat (it can store a lot of thermal energy.)
3) Take one of these two methods and tack a Peltier cooler on it. A Peltier is a block comprised of two different conducting materials. It takes the heat away from one side (The cold plate) and dumps it on the other (the hot plate) when current is applied. Of course, you'll still need some sort of heatsink to suck the heat off the hot plate, and with this method, you need to be really careful about condensation on the cold side.
