Help wanted...want an exellent air cooler for overclocing q6600 b0...

[ayushp13]

hello friends,
i want to purchase an exellent air cooler for q6600...for overclocking it to max 3.9ghz...i have already purchased cooler master hyper 212 with extra silent 120mm blue led fan...i.e, heatsink with total two 120mm fans...but all my friends say that it is not good enough air cooler...but i decided to purchase hyper 212 only after reading its review on frostytech...http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2206
now iam thinking of buying another air cooler as my friend suggested i.e, thermalright ultra 120...i also read its review on various websites and found it the best and the top most air cooler above all...but when i visited the website of thermalright to see the detail specs of the cooler i found that, it was provided without fans i.e, fanless and only supports core 2 duo and core 2 quad...and was costlier than hyper 212...also hyper 212 is far good looking than thermalright ultra 120 also it is provided with one silent 120mm blue led fan and supports all core 2 duo, core 2 quad, corei7 processors...i just want to know that if i purchase thermalright ultra 120 heatsink with extra silent two 120mm fans which will be costlier for me...is it worth the money??

I have the 120 Ultra and its great. I can OC to 3.6Ghz and keep my load temps at right around 60C with it. I keep my Q6600 at 3.2Ghz because I feel 3.6Ghz puts too much strain on my mobo.

I would recommend getting the Scythe S-Flex 120mm fan. Silent and tons of CFM.

I only have 1 fan on my cooler.

+1 for the ultra 120

It's an excellent cooler and you can take your pretty fans off the the other cooler and put them on the Ultra and make it pretty: if looks is what your looking for. Personnelly I would buy a cooler for what it does not what it looks like

Sorry, Avi. I removed the preceding post because it was spam. If it had been just a link, I probably would have let it slide. Even so, this is a little large for a CPU cooler (look at the dimensions):

ayushp, if you already have the 212+, use it. The TRUE, although a great cooler (I have one), is not enough better to be worth the added expense.

You are being overly optimistic about how far you can push a Q6600 (I have one of these also ). The odds of getting a Q6600 to run at 3.9 GHz reliably are almost nonexistent. The practical limit of a Q6600 is around 3.6 GHz and many will not run that fast.
