Freezer pro was good on my q6600 for a mild overclock

I got the Akasa Venom (a bit more than £30) for my Q9400, it's now stable at 3.6 and doesn't go over 61C on load with IBT/Prime. Going to stick another Viper on it for push/pull in a couple of days, so should shave off another 1 - 3 deg.

3rd for the Gelid cooler, nice piece of kit

Depending on your preference, cooling performance vs. noise levels, relative to value for money, you should be looking at the aforementioned Gelid Tranquillo or the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus.

The Tranquillo is exceptionally quiet and offers good quality cooling, well worth the extra ~£6 in my opinion.
