Looking for a A Cpu Cooler / Hsf for Intel Core 2 Quad, Ideas??

Hi guys,
Im in need of a new CPU Cooler / HSF for a Intel core 2 Quad Q6600, currently at stock speed but hoping to overclock to 3.2 GHZ. Im finding it hard to overclock with the stock Cooler and it is really noisy! :bang:

I would really apreatiate any sugestions.

Thanks

 

How much you want to put on it ?

 

Hi ProFits, I was thinking about £30 - £50
Thanks

Hey,
Thanks for your help. I'l look into them

 

Scythe Ninja?
Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme?

With either of those get a Noctua NF-P12 120mm fan to cool them

 

Warning!!!. The Zalman CNPS9700 is not designed for quad cores. It can be used with up to Core 2 Duo processors only. The TDP of the Q6600 is 95W while a typical Core 2 Duo's is 65W, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough for the Q6600.

 

The Zalmans are more for silence than anything else. Not sure how well they would perform with an overclocked quad. I guess it depends whether u value silence or temps/speed!

As Xafier said, the Noctua NF-P12 120mm fans are meant to be great. Might be a little pricey, but very quiet and still push alot of air!

 

Thank you very much for your help every one!

 

I'm using the Freezer7 Pro with my Q9450 OC'd to 3.21 and running at 29C ATM.

 

Nice job... the Freezer 7 Pro's have been around a while, and are really great value imo. Wasnt sure if they were still keeping up with the big boys, but u certainly seem to be getting decent temps.

However, no doubt a Q6600 will run hotter than a 9450, seeing as its 65nm rather than 45nm.

 

I'm also using the Freezer 7 Pro, all four cores at 39C with the fan at ~800RPM. It can go up to 2800RPM but it's a bit too noisy for my taste.

 

Another vote for the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme. No problems running Q6600 at 3.6G.

 

Thanks every one for your help!

 

Another vouch for the Freezer 7 Pro from me !

It keeps my Q6600 Under 60 degrees on all 4 cores, OC'd to 3240 Mhz!

 

OCZ Vendetta 2. Beats the Thermalright Ultra 120, costs less.

Freezer Pro 7.....
Under £20 and does a very good job.
29 idle and 50 full load.

 

Yeah i think the freezer 7 pro looks like the best option, thanks for all your ideas guys!
