Best cpu air cooler for Conroe

dark4orz · 12 Oct 2006 at 18:00

Hi

I've got a Conroe 6600 & looking to upgrade from Stock HSF, this will be mounted onto a GigaByte DQ6 Motherboard.

It has to be not so loud, but good for overclocking. I was thinking to buy one of the following:

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 775) (HS-017-AR) @£21.14

Scythe Infinity Heatpipe CPU Cooler (Socket 478, 775, AM2, 754, 939, 940) (HS-006-SY) @ £38.76

or

Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B Heatpipe CPU Cooler (478/754/939/940/AM2/LGA755) (HS-003-SY) @ £35.24

Your opinions please.

It has to be the zalman cns9500 AT especially if you have a windowed case

Hold on - Doesn't the DQ6 have some sort of copper plate underneath the CPU..?

....So this could cause a problem - If you need to fit a cooler that requires a backplate etc...

I think u right Verdi. Nice thing about the Thermaltake Sonic Tower is that it doesn't interfere with the plate.
