Q6600 fan recommendations

[m00nz00mer]

Hey,

Thinking about my new build for next month and would like some recommendations for a cpu cooler for a Q6600. Has anyone got any statistics they can throw at me?

Also.. dont suppose anyones running a Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi Intel P35 with this chip?

Any comments greatly appriciated.

Regards

Maybe go for a scythe s-flex 1600rpm fan - i would have got one there was none in stock so i had to get the 1200rpm one.
I'm putting 1.52 through this cpu to get 3.3ghz stable atm and it idles at 52-49 degrees and when running prime95 on all 4 cores it can hit 80 but i'm not bothered since it will never reach that temp in everyday use...good fan but i would have liked the 1600rpm.

Might not help because i don't have a quad but with the processer in the sig my scythe infinity with a 2000rpm intake and 1000rpm exhaust fitted on the heatsink is keeping it at 22/23idle and 35/36 under orthos. If you ask me that is pretty cold for air cooling.

In this thread here a guy tests various coolers capabilities against an overclocked QX6700, should give you some food for thought
