Cooler for my E6600

[Forge]

Hello.

i have E6600 thats stable at 3.6Ghz @ 1.5v and my Zalman 9500LED is having trouble keeping it cool

idle temps are 42c and load can reach up to 72c after 2 hours of orthos

im guessing i need an upgrade

should i get the Zalman 9700 the Tuniq Tower 120 or the Scythe Iinfinity/Miné

Thanks

Can't comment as I'm still using the Intel default cooler but I'll be interested to see your results with a new cooler.

My 6600 when overclocked is like a huge heater. Can't believe how easy it is to get it quite hot.

Lots of people seem to recommend the scythe, but the tuniq tower is also an awsome cooler, my friend has the zalman 9500 and he says he is not that impressed with the noise levels with the fan at full speed. I personally would go for the ninja as it is a great cooler and is very quiet.

tuniq tower here not to noisy and easy to fit although you have to take the mobo out to fit. The only problem I have found with it is, it could do with the base being lapped.
