after abit of thinking ive decided to go for the quad cpu

anything that you would chance? is the hs/fan that comes with the q6600 decent enough to get a decent overclock out of it? or should i get a 3rd party one if so which?

thanx for the help

Looks good with a lot of overclocking potential and i would buy an aftermarket cooler if your considering overclocking at all:

Tuniq Tower. Very highly rated and recommended a lot.

Thermalright Ultra Extreme with a 120mm fan such as a Scythe S-FLEX. Probably the best Air combo you can get although rather a bit more expensive than the TT.

Careful with case clearance and those heatsinks though. That gigabyte boards good, but the location of the CPU does make clearance a little tighter.

oh ok will have a good luck around to check the sizes for the hs/fans then thank you for the info
