I am just about to pull the trigger on a 6750 (when I can find a decent price on it), and I've already got a 680i (A1) from EVGA on the way. I want to get the best possible HS for my CPU. I was looking at the Tuniq Tower, and most of the reviews say that it is a great heatsink, just a little hard to install. Are there any other high-end heatsinks that will provide maximum cooling that I should consider?
 
Ah, that is perfect. Thank you very much. Now can anyone who has used one of these attest to its greatness?
 
Heatsink: Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme
Fan: Sanyo Denki San Ace 109R1212H1011

Motherboard: ASUS P5N-E SLI (BIOS 0401)
Bus Speed: 466.9MHz
FSB: 1867.7MHz
LDT Frequency = x3
Chipset Voltage = 1.5xxV (can't remember the last 2 values)

CPU: Intel E6300 CPU
Core Speed: 3268MHz
Voltage: 1.3500V (Manually set in BIOS)

Memory: 2 x 1GB Kingston DDRII-667 ValueRAM (@ 866MHz, 4-4-4-15 @ 2.178V)

Temperature in my area yesterday: 87ºF
Peak (instantaneous) temperature logged by Core Temp 0.95 during Orthos: 52ºC / 52ºC

Sorry, I don't have other data to compare to, and in fact, I think something's wonky with my setup since the fan doesn't actually clip onto the heatsink (I've got it attached using rather "homebrew" methods if you will --- tie pins :-P) I would expect better results once I get a properly mounted fan on there.. say a Scythe S-Flex
