Best heatsink?

[Travis18]

Can you guys post your favorite or the best heatsink out there? I'm hearing the big typhoon which i might get, but since hotter temperatures are coming, i still idle at 40c when im idleing at 28c right now in the early morning. Please post the best heatsink, thanks

Zalman's radial heatsinks with the fins are very popular... I have one myself.

CNPS9500 and Big typhoon close race here.

I prefer the CNPS955 cuz it looks cooler.

ive got the 9500, good hsf

easy install unlike the big typhoon which requires mobo removal and the installation of a metal backplate.

zalman's don't always install easy either, it depends on motherboard. the big typhoon and cnps9500 are close i performance. generally the big typhoon wins but not always, it depends on how the airflow of your case is set up. the big typhoon is also cheaper. i remember 003 reporting a HSF that outperforms these two but can't remember its name.
