Answer» what would be the best air cooler for an amd phenom ii x6 1100T. I dont want it to be as big as the noctua cooler. Would a Zalman CNPS9700LED be good at cooling it ?You are asking for Best and also putting a limit on size.
So, what are the other limits do you want?
A. Best Performance for cost.
B. A callable anywhere.
C. Easy to install.
D Low maintenance.
E. Better than what the CPU maker recommends.
If you want E you don't care about A thru B. Those are things the CPU maker has already done.
EDIT:
But you could just buy this:

CORSAIR CWCH60 Hydro Series H60 High Performance LIQUID CPU Cooler
For 'normal' use that cooler is way overkill.
Which Noctua cooler are you referring to? That make 5 or 6 coolers that will work with that processor of VARIOUS sizes.
You also need to determine how much room you actually have for a cooler, as some coolers are taller than others and you may not be able to close the CASE properly if you get one that's too tall for it.the computer is going to be for gaming(GTA 4, battlefront 2 bad company) i want the cpu cooler to have the best preformence for the cost. I dont want water cooling yet.
the noctua cooler i was talking about is the big one they have ( http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Heatpipe-Bearing-Cooler-NH-D14/dp/B002VKVZ1A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1315680261&sr=1-1 )
I have a ASRock M3A770DE mother board and a NZXT Gamma Case, and i plan to have a kingston hyperx ram cooler with hyperx t1 ram.

Your choie. For the money, IMHO, the water cooler is a better value.
As for RAM cooling, do you understand the features of the amd phenom ii x6 ?
I suppose you do. It reduces the load on the RAM nso that the RAM will not run so hot. See the AMD site nfor an explanatin.
