Cooling question

lozcs · 28 Jul 2007 at 02:46

Hi,

I have an Intel d975xbx board with a Core 2 Duo E6700.

I can overclock this fine to 3.2Gig but even at standard speed the CPU fan get really noisy at 100% CPU usage.

I guess I need something with a big heatsink and cooler to reduce the nose?

What coolers do people recommend?

Thanks,

Lawrence......

Noctua U12F, Tuniq Tower or Thermalright 120 Extreme

WOW - they are huge - look ideal!

Are there any issues with mounting on a vertical board? They look very heavy!

fitted and working great...

System is a hell of a lot quieter now.

Need to look at my case fan and a quieter PSU next ;-)

Thanks again...
