Hi i was just wondering whats the best air cooler for a Q6600. Looking to spend around £30 - £45 but would spend more if it was worth it.
Thanks.

Prolimatech Megahalems

with

Akasa AK-FN057 Apache

are proving to be quite a popular combination.

The Megahalem is meant to be one of the best air coolers on the market right now. Just add your own fan and you are off!

Will that fit ok with a asus rampage formula motherboard?

It should, but do you really need the best?

Or an AC Freezer 7 Pro, or a Scythe Zipang 2 if you want silence.

I have used the Zalman 9500 which is really quiet but not really oc'd my chip on that one!!

Had great results with a thermalright ultra extrme 120, great cooler, though a bit pricey once you add the cost of 1 or 2 fans.

I would recommend the Thermalright True 120 Black.

I use the Thermalright IFX-14 it's large but a fantastic cooler, and even better if you attch a fan. check case for size tho. fits my antec 300 fine.

Thanks for all the replies but i have decided to go with the first suggestion.
I have ordered the Prolimatech Megahalems Performance CPU Cooler

It just looks and sounds amazing and can not wait for it to come.

All things considered the Titan TTC-NK85TZ Fenrir is hard to beat for value for money...

setter · 26 Aug 2009 at 22:44

The fenrir is a pretty good cooler at a nice price, but personally i found that upon testing one, it didnt cope as well on my old 3.8ghz q6600 as my TRUE black.

Thermalright IFX-14 + 2x Scythe gentle typhoon 1400 rpm
