Titan Fenrir

I was considering this cooler as it seems really good value, and my zalman 9500 needs upgrading.
Just wondering is brackets are included to attach a second fan for a push pull setup?

Nope. Only supposed to use one fan, probs easy enough to attach a second with a zip tie or similar though

is it worth the extra dough for the noctua? (its 775 btw) that has a dual bracket included right?

Iirc the Noctua, Fenrir and TRUE are pretty much the same. Only like 2/3 degress between them all. Imo the Fenrir is the best value and the Noctua and TRUE are slightly better coolers. I'd go with the Fenrir personally (Although im probs biased as I have one!)

And yes I think the Noctua supports 2 fans but i'm not 100%

im currently running my Q6600 at 3.402GHz (378 x 9) and cpu is 57C with cores 1 - 77, 2 - 74, 3 - 68, 4 - 66 on 24/7 FAH SMP
I think my zalman isn't upto my clock anymore especially in the warmer weather.
Id like to lower the core temps by 15C or so is that realistic?

Well my Q6600 @ 3.4ish (375 x 9) with the Fenrir is 62-63-58-59 during an 8 hour Prime test (CM690 case) If you're going to be maxing out the CPU often then maybe go with the TRUE or Noctua as the Fenrir is loud at full tilt. Afaik the Noctua is the most quiet
