I use a number of the 9500 and 9700 Zalman coolers - truly excellent!
Pretty quiet (with the more expensive one you get the fan mate controller,
so can vary speed and noise) - even at full speed there not that noisy.
Cooling is excellent. The only problem may be that they're sooooo  BIG -
but that's why there's so effective! You'll need a lot of space to fit the
9700 in. I believe the 9000 series are their best performing coolers - if
you have the space!
