Going to get a i7 920 soon and doing the usual 4 ghz overclock. What cpu cooler is best for it or recommend? I was think of getting Corsair H50, but i really don't see that as the best option due to its price.

Why not?  It's only $50 at Fry's this week.

CoolerMaster 212 Plus $29.99 free shipping atm

Mine should arrive on me doorstep today actually.

Although I haven't bought my parts to replace my ancient P4 system, which I'll be doing in about 2 weeks time (buying a few parts at a time) I think if you research this cooler, you'll come to like it.

I bought a CoolerMaster 590 case last fall, with a future upgrade in mind. I currently have my P4 components installed in said case, I'm running 6 120mm fans, and I'm 110% satisfied with CoolerMaster products.

Scythe Mugen 2 is quite good bang for buck.

That is the old small heatsink for 9cm fans. I had U12P SE1366. I have Xigmatek Thor's Hammer now.

Scythe Zipang 2 SCZP-2000

dropped the load temps on my E6600 (OC to 3 Ghz) from 67°C to 44°C.

Only downside is the size and the old clips system.

12 sticks
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
