Default Question about coolers - 10-12-2009, 08:32 | posts: 55 | User is Offline

Hello me again with few question.From my previous topic one of the question was about OCing my Q6600 and one of the members was kind enough to give me few links about good coolers.But i cant find any of those at stores here and cant shop online.What i did managed to find are these two so i was wondering can anyone tell me how good and reliable are they for OCing Q6600 to 3.4.
