right guys just wondering whats the best cooler for the q6600? price doesnt matter, i know it also relies on your case ect, lets say the antec 900

preferably i want to get it to 3.6 :)

cheers,
 
I've got Xigmatex Red Scorpion with Crossbow instead push pins and works excellent.
OC to 3.3 GHz temp 21 C idle, load 50 C
Very happy and paid less than £30 :D


Me too!

Great cooler, isn't it!

Clocked my Q6600 to 3.6Ghz, never went above 54C under Priming, and that was before the cold snap!

Oh yeh, gotta love that LED fan as well. :)

Depends, TRUE is good when you've got tons of air going thru it (high rpm fans), but if you want to use low RPM fans there are better coolers out there...

Ive had some great results with my q6600 cooled by a true with 2x2000rpm fans (3.8ghz) and 3 of the same fans on my case, all controlled by fan contiollers, id like to try water cooling but it still scares me a bit. Im gonna get rid of the quad as i fancy an E85/600 dual core to play with.
