Well I've finally done it (CPU Cooler Advice)

[dr. sarf]

Well, I've finally decided to break the 8 year long cycle of AMDs; I've gone and bought a Q6600 and new motherboard!
With my 6000+ I had an Arctic Freezer Pro which I was very happy with, but I only had a 333Mhz overclock.
I'm hoping to get the Q6600 past 3Ghz and will need an after market cooler, but wondering what recommendations you guys might have. Lots to choose from. Wanting to keep things nice and cool.

Thanks

Hi there,

Just OCed my system for the first time today with no effort: Q6600 @ 3.2 GHz using Arctic Freezer 7 (can see details in this thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17810678). I think there are better HSFs available but the AF7 is cheap
