I'd be inclined to stick to standard cooler, unless you need silent, in which case you've picked wrong one.  Stock coolers seem to be massively more reliable.

What do you recommend.

Edit:-  Just to add, it all going in a flat case, rather than an upright.  Will also be having some thermally controlled case fans in in case I fit more hard drives....... ::)
Modern stuff, particularly Intel, doesn't use the power (thus heat) of older generation.  Modern drives are also more efficient.  You may not need much further cooling.

Seperate VGA cards still need cooling though.

we had that a couple of years back.  OOF was on a 2.4 G Core2 Quad back then, never any issues with heat. Using std BTX cooler...

 I frequently clean coolers and system, but for that system did not help.. :-/

Sort that cable management out, get a decent case, and the stock cooler will be more than sufficient.


PS

Just checked mine after being on 24/7 for the last 3 weeks...

Intel E8400 (3GHz dual core), Lian Li full tower server case, room temp at 26°C according to a mercury based thermometer....and my CPU is at 32°C using the stock Intel supplied cooler.
Video card (9800GT) is at 47°C according to GPU software, with HDD's being at 45°C (HDD Tune).

I'd have been laughing my nuts off if I could have got my case for $150....it was £199 inc VAT....and the PSU was another £175 inc VAT on top.
