Hello everyone,
Short Version:
So I am hoping you can suggest some HSF+Aftermarket Fan combos for me. I am very open to ideas like the CoolIt ECO or Corsair H50/70 I may even prefer to have the weight off the Motherboard. I just don't think they are up to par from reviews I have looked at.

So I am using stock cooling on my rig right now as my custom made retention mechanism (s1366) for my Xxigmatek aio-s80dp was bending and I did not trust it anymore.
I have googled this already but I am looking for more first hand knowledge for a number of reasons.
I want to be able to run my rig silently without an oc at night since its in my bedroom. So I am looking to keep it at 30db idle. I don't really want it over 40db load, but if it happens it happens.
Budget: $80-$120 (Including buying 3 replacement silent case fans of whatever recommendation I decide on.)

- I want to get a hsf for my rig that:
- Will let me overclock my 920 substantially, I don't want to break any records but I want it to hit at least 4ghz if I can.
