What Cooler Do I Need?

I've got the Shuttle SP35P2 and want the Q6600 what cooler would I need to overclock it to 4Ghz and fit in the shuttle and be cool enough what is the max temp. for a processor like?

Is this the same question as to your other thread?

I'd stick with the ICE cooler. Shuttles dont use standard bolt layouts for the CPU cooler. You'd need to mod a 3rd party cooler to fit the mobo.

For Q6600 getting 4GHz probably you need water cooling

indeed, more n likely you would need to go water cooling

Can you fit water cooling into a case which wasn't indended for water cooling?

With a little bit of modding proberly yes, but the rad will need to be mounted outside the case.

very few Q6600 (even less of the current ones) will hit 4Ghz - 3.6 is a more realist goal
A search on watercooling and A350 should give you a ssf/watercoolig build log (and a recomendation not to do it)

A hot quad in a limited thermal solution SSF case is just making life hard for yourself. as it will have fan noise or an external rad to make it work (both somewhat againest the SFF ethos)

Why the quad? if your not heavily into encoding a E8xxx would be a better option

seriously your gonna need phase to hit 4gig (24x7 stable) on one - except for the odd few very good clockers... 3.6gig on high end air (probably not enough space) or water is more realistic.
