Cooler Master Hyper Z600

[radium69]

Good evening, (19:23 here),
Iam planning on buying this new "uber" heatsink. This Heatsink scores very very well in a lot of benchmarks I have seen. I'll be using it for my Q6600.

*specs*
Q6600
A-bit IP35 pro mobo.
Corsair XMS2 ram,
Thermaltake armor case.

So here's the point, this thing weighs 1kg or 2.3 pounds (if i remember correctly). That is without fans. Now I'm planning on adding 2 Scythe Ultra Kaze 2000's to my case. (push and pull) for the best airflow. But wonder if it would not crack my board.

The scythe fans weigh 225 grams each.. 38mm thick! But these things move a lot of air. Now I'm also worried about the noise. So I'm planning to buy a fan controller (Zalman ZM-MFC2) to maintain the noise ratio to a maximum of 25 db. Will this be a good idea? I think it would be a kick-buttocks idea. But I'm a little bit afraid my board would break, because of the 1.5 kg weight in total!

Also I'm curious about replacing the CPU cooler. What thermal paste should I buy? Top notch etc. And how should I spread it. I've read many comments about a small piece like a grain of rice.

Any oppinions? And suggestions? Always welcome.
Cheers,
Kc

you should consider linking the heatsink

o and, why would you get two industrial-like fans, and put a fan controller on it? just get some fans that are rated for 25db.... you'll save a few bucks

..i just looked at the heatsink, kinda pricey isn't it?

My tuniq was also 60$ I live in holland.

The scythe fans because of the CFM (airflow) I want to get more airflow with those fans and Z600.

Got money on cooler to spill so i thought it be a good option.
The fancontroller to maintain noise ratio from my other case fans etc 😉

I'm just worried about the weight.
And what paste to use and how.

I have a Xigmatek 1283 with a Scythe Ultra Kaze 3k RPM. I don't put that fan much past 1800 RPM's on my fan controller because it doesn't make that much of a difference. I idle at 36C with a 70 Degree F room. I actually used the Xigmatek fan as exhaust and put the Ultra Kaze 3k on my cpu cooler. the Z600 looks pretty extreme but I'm happy with my cooler now. I used to have a Cooler Master Hyper TX2.
