Need HSF suggestions: OC i7-920 on Air

I have the i7 920 clocked to 4095 on air. It is prime stable overnight. Idle temps are in upper 20s and with full load(in prime) the cores vary from 58-62degress. I use the meghalems to cool the processor. CPU is at 1.30V. Still working my way up on the OC though

Staples had the home premium for 119 with 70$ instant rebate through their online site making around 49.99. Went OOS for sometime. Not sure if it is back on.

Guys n Gals: Very torn here.

what makes it more difficult for me is that I got the i7 920 along with Windows Vista for 129$ using the intel retail edge program(my friend worked for one of the retailers)...I am debating on selling it off and getting the i5 or the i7 860....:confused:

Water cooling kits

Thanks. I know the ultima plus comes with a waterblock for the GPU..I am planning to get the Sapphire Vapor X 4890..will I need the extra cooling on these? I could save about 100$ I got the Ultima and not the plus??

Water cooling kits

That was the whole idea...this will be my first foray into watercooling and thought that I should start with a kit...it helps with making things a lot simpler. I did not want to get one if the kits were not very good as a cooling solution..

Integrated water cooled cases

Thanks. I think I am gravitating towards the Antec 1200 and the Megalehms for cooling. I hear that the 920 runs hot. I do plan to overclock..so I was looking at a non complicated water cooling setup..oh, well
