cooling for n00b

Well I decided to get the 3200+ winchester core and with the extra money I am saving I would like to get some nice cooling products. Except I need you input on what the best cooling like heatsinks and fans. my case came with 5 fans
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-144-090&depa=1

Also this case comes with a fan controler. but how do you hook it up? does it only control one fan?

So im looking for a nice heatsink. I've heard both good and bad about the thermal XP-90 and the 120. I was looking at this too http://www.frozencpu.com/cpu-swi-11.html again I have not read anything on this. so your guys opinions really matter to me. also are there adpters for Heatsinks so a 90 or even a 120 could go on top?

I recall just rading good things about a Thermaltake Tornado 12 Extreme. Check it out, read about it, adn then ask Yoshida anything you still want to know.

I have dedicated my whole day looking at heatsinks. im a d0rk lol n e ways. ive been looking at other forums about the XP 120. Im seeing both good and bad things about it. does anybody here have this heatsink? and if u do do u like it? was it worth it. also thermalright recommend a panaflo 120 for this heatsink. should you go with they recommend or are there better ones out there

I think that heat sink would be so much better if it had copper fins.

that thing would be WAY too heavy with copper fins,

All the reviews I have read on the XP-120 have shown it to be a very effective heatsink

IMO you should get the SP-97 a vantec tornado 92mm and a vantec Nexus fan controler, best air setup i have yet to see. ive got 3 people useing this setup 2 with 3200+ newcastles and 1 with a 3.0C northwood, all have really great temps, and well thank god for the fan controler otherwise they would be driven crazy.

WARNING! Although the vantec move ALOT of air, they can be VERY noisy. even with fan controllers, they can drive some people absolutely crazy. You might want to look into panaflow fans. They are quiet and move a decent amount of air.

Its hard to go wrong with a thermalright heatsink and some arctic silver 5
