coolermaster hyper 212, its good with the fan it comes with but its better if you attach a fan of your choice.

In a couple of weeks time, when it hits the shops, the Hyper 612S http://www.coolermaster.co.uk/product.php?category_id=7&product_id=6723.

Rather than make a new thread I thought I'd post here if thats OK.

That looks interesting, but it looks on the big side for me (136 x 100 x 163 mm)

Had a little google and been looking at the stats here (http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2595&page=5) and here (http://www.behardware.com/articles/824-22/roundup-15-affordable-coolers.html). I can't decide which would be best. Hyper 212+ or Gelid Tranquillo seem to be a good bet, but theres quite a few coolers performing better than the Tranquillo in the first link. It seems pretty popular here but elsewhere the Hyper212 seems to be praised more. I am cooling an overclocked q6600 btw. The Hyper212+ is a bit cheaper than the Tranquillo atm
