Which CPU Cooler for 4Ghz OC?

Just so you know, that rating is complete BS. No 120MM fan on the market will hit 90 CFM @ 18 dBA. Also, Silenx fans are rather sub-par. From the reviews I've seen, they don't perform well.

I've heard only good things about SilenX fans.
 
Cabbs is right, their ratings are BS.

The Prolimatech Megahalems have very densely packed fins like the TRUE. This means that you need a fan with a high static pressure rating. Look for the 120mm x 38mm, rather than the 120mm x 25mm fans. The Scythe Ultra Kaze is an example.

What is a "high static pressure" ? You mean the CFM? Why won't a 120-25mm fan do a good job?

ULTRA KAZE looks good, but I don't want it to be the loudest part in my PC, will I be able to tune it down using BIOS or something?

I was looking at the S-Flex SFF21G 75 CFM/35 DBA 1900RPM But its 120-25mm
 
Static pressure is the amount of air pressure a fan can push. You can have a fan that moves 100 CFM, but if the fan has low static pressure not very much of that 100 CFM will get through a heatsink.

Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185054&Tpk=scythe ultra kaze

The Ultra Kaze has 46dbm compared to the #2 choice with 32dmb. Yes the Kaze will put out more CFM but at what price? I mean I dont want my PC to sound like a rocket... Will I be able to tune down the Kaze using MOBO power connector? Or will the #1 is also a good selection and I should just go with that?

EDIT:

I looked at some reviews for the "ULTRA KAZE" and it does a great job cooling but the noise it emits is just very loud! Are there any suggestions for what to get?

I'm thinking about Scythe DFS123812-2000 120mm Case Fan - Retail 87 CFM 32 dBA 2000 RPM what you guys think?
