Retro Q6600 socket 775 cooling........

I have an old system i was going to reuse but the artic cooling 7 fan i have is slightly to big for the case as in the depth

is there anything half decent at cooling it thats a bit smaller in height? thanks

oh and can the stock cooler be used efficiently if not overclocking? just a thought but i think i will be to get as much as i can out of it.

Thanks

I had a Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme with 2 fans push/pull on mine back in the day on my P35 motherboard. Very good cooler, although finding one now may be difficult!

most coolers still come with 775 mounting brackets, so something like this would do http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-005-RT&groupid=701&catid=2330&subcat=2666

Thermalright do a number of low profile coolers, socket 775 compatible! Have a look here at the range. Very good air coolers!

Nowt wrong with the stock cooler if not clocking.
