Best Intel Push Pin Cooler?

ACF7 pro works fine on a Q6600 unless your pushing a lot of voltage through it (over 1.4-1.45ish).

It would be my choice out of all the push pin coolers... but if your serious about clocking a quad (past ~3.4gig/~1.4v) then you really want a decent bolt through.

One last question.

What would be the recommended direction to mount the Sunbeam Cooler if i can. The fan facing towards the back of the case where exausts fan is or facing up the way or facing down???

Thanks for responding.

I like the "suck cold air in the front & blow hot out the back" method, it's pretty simple but works well.

Same here I've always gone the route of cpu fan drawing air over the hsf then letting the rear case fan exhaust it

guys which way would you do it? I know the best way for Towers is front to back but the TJ08 is small.

see pic's

I had a big problem with the Xigmatek s1283 getting the fan fitted. That anti-vibration thing is a good ideal in principle but the reality is it's almost impossible to get the fan fitted.

With the motherboard mounted inside a chassis I don't know how to get the fan mounted properly . . .

Getting 44/62 with this Akasa Nero
was Getting 52/68 with the NT06 and the fan was spinning at a lot more RPM's

going to try OC at the weekend.

Wayne, you need to fit the fan before installing the cooler, much easier then.

I didnt, as it makes getting to the front pushpins a lot harder, I used a pair of plyers and my fingers to hold the rubber in place.
