Need A Good CPU Cooler???

[Darkmike]

Ive Just ordered a Q6600 and going to overclock it 2 about 3.2ghz.

Ive got an Antec 900 gaming case. Will this case give enough airflow?

So, What CPU cooler dya think i should get???

Thank You.

From what I have read I would go for a TRUE black 120mm - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-056-TR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=821&name=Thermalright%20TRUE%20Black%20120%20CPU%20Cooler%20(Socket%20AM2/LGA775)

You will also need 1 or 2 fans for it, make sure it will fit in your case though before you buy it, the dimensions can be found on the Thermalright website.

I have one of these if you are interested, brand new in the box - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-043-TR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=821&name=Thermalright%20Ultima-90i%20CPU%20Cooler%20(Socket%20AM2/LGA775)

I will include the new Arctic Cooling 90mm fan that I bought for it as well !

They are a bit smaller and this one is brand new, tried it for a couple of days before upgrading to water to get more out of my Q6600, make me a sensible offer and its yours!

Freezer Pro 7 wil do a good job for cooling you quad to 3.2 and sti fairly quiet.

Noctua gets my vote. Can get an extra fan for it too.

I've had my Q6600 at 3.6 for a year now, never been above 75deg - even with ambients of 25+. I have a Zalman CNPS9700-NT.

Zalman have an excellent rep for making quality components: I've had numerous Zalman coolers and have never had to lap any of them. Mind you, you do pay a price premium.

TRUE, Tuniq tower, core contact freezer, noctua
freezer 7

any of these will do the job well

i think il go with the freezer 7 pro and get sum good quality thermal compound.

thanks for the help.
