Hey, im going to build a new comp and wana put the order in today so instead of trailing forums looking for advice i thought id ask you folks,

Im set on buying Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz and want to buy a better heatsink than stock.

Whats the best fan for the job?
btw i aint going to watercool

Scythe ninja running on my 6600 - 40C running folding on both cores with fans (case and CPU @ around 950 rpm). Good cooler IMO, though installation can be a little tough.
 
those are all great heatsinks and I'm guessing the difference in performance between them is quite minimal, so I guess its about which one you like the look of best and which one will be the most silent if that concerns you,

I've got the Zalman 9500 on my E6600 and i get 36-40c idle with it running at 3015MHz which upsets me a little, but it works ok. I could easily pump it up a bit more but tbh, i'm happy with this, for now.
 
I have the CNPS9500 on my Oc'd pentium D and im idling now at around 34. This cooler may not be as huge and inviting as some , but its quiet and looks nice :) So , for anyone else viewing this thread it gets my vote.
