Vista - selecting the best fans and heatsinks

ok well first of all i got arctic silver 5 thermal paste..which is one of the best i heard...and i have the crappy stock cooling that came with the cpu..

it is a q6600, so i need one for an lga 775 socket

thermalright ultra 120 or a zalman cnps9700 or a scythe infinity?

which one would be the best of oc'ing and best cooling and performance?

All three are good highend cpu coolers. From what I have read in reviews the current king of the hill is the ultra 120, but they will all keep your q6600 well within the safe zone. I chose the zalman, even tho they tend to be on the highend cost wise, because of how quiet their coolers run. Keep in mind that if you are planning to use a ram cooler the orientation of your mb layout (ram cooler and cpu cooler might need to occupy the same space) can play a factor when selecting a cpu cooler.

Ye[ the TRUE(ThermalRight Ultra Extreme) along with a good FAN is supposed to be the best HSF for air cooling.
If it doesnt fit in your case (check the dimensions on Thermalright's website) then get the ThermalRight Ultima-90.

i got a full atx case..so get a thermal right ultra 120 with a 120 mm fan right?
not sure about the ram cooling yet..maybe later..dont use much ram

hmm not so sure if i wanna go for a thermalright with a fan...kinda big...and prolly wont need that much..the zalman cnps9700 looks reasonable and is well rated...any idea how much ur temps would be at idle with oc'ing?

i live in india ,the temps here are always hot,so no use comparing my Idle/Load temps.
Get the Ultima-90 if you dont wanna get the 120 version,i think its better than the Zalman.

Get an Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro if you want to basically turn your CPU into a Popsicle. No really its an excellent cooler, just read the reviews over on Newegg.

I've found the ThermalTake series of coolers to be fairly cool. No Pun intended. Is use the ThermalTake Tai-Chi chassis with built-in water cooling. My CPU has never gone higher than 36C, even on a typical South African summer day.

With slightly overclocked cpus', (3.24GHz vice 3GHz), my idle temp right now is 34 -35. I'm using speedfan: 19 - 20 plus 15. Under heavy load 57 -58. Take in consideration I have the stacker 830 with four 120s', 1 front, 1 side (both intakes), 1 back and one top (exhaust).

hey asky...i know where your at..my parents were born in india, and i just went there this summer..and ur in bombay i believe, or now known as mumbai...
oh yeah might wanna think some more on the fan
