Isn't the Tr Ultra 120 Extreme the best CPU cooler the money can buy?

It is, as long as the base is flat enough. When working with the Wolfdales, highend coolers aren't really the concern. Overclocks will hit the safe voltage limit far before thermals become a problem.

It's the best air cooler I've ever used, approaching water cooling temps. It is one big honker though.

In an ultra Grid case I had a while back it barely cleared the side and I had to remove the blow hole fan to do it. After install I was messing around with the front off the case and reached in and 5 pieces of paper wouldn't go between the side and the TRUE heat sink.

That's close.
