CPU Cooler for Striker Extreme

strang3r · 14 Mar 2011 at 20:41

I wonder if anybody could recommend me a CPU cooler for this board and my Q6600. I am looking for something that is easy to fit. There seems to be problems with this board having limited space.

I have posted this in the geeral discussion area but may get more of a response in here.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of budget? Do you care about noise, or do you just want the best value for performance.

At £30-£40, the Akasa Venom has great performance and you need to spend over £50 to get much better. The Themalright Silver Arrow and the Noctua NH-D14 are two of the best air coolers around.

I was looking to spend around £20, less noise would be a bonus. The main problem I have is knowing what is going to fit due to the limited space on the board.

Take a look at the Coolermaster Hyper 212+. Good value cooler, although it's a little big, so I hope you have a big case.

Will do, thanks.
