Hi,

First, on the Big Typhoon. It is an excellent cpu cooler. But I personally would never use it:
Why I like it>
One of the best coolers on the market. Does not interfere with socket area. Can give amazing results with very little fannage, hence very silent.

Why I hate it>
Horrid Mounting, It is a pain in the butt to get through.
WAYY too much torque on the motherboard, since its very top heavy, it will damage your motherboard in the long term.
Disruption to case airflow; The fan is located at the very top of this huge heatsink. Therefore it will suck air from area's which dont have too much of it. Disrupting the overall "sealed tunnel" style characteristics that are in many cases.

I would rather suggest of these coolers instead:
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
Scythe Mine
I highly suggest you take the measurements from the manufacturer's websites and MAKE sure that non of these coolers are too tall.

Chipset Cooler is excellent. The best on the market today. Check thermalright's website for installation issues regarding the cooler.

On the vga. That silencer is an Excellent cooler. But if you want one better then I suggest you look at this:
AC Accelero X1
