Will a Zalman 7700 properly cool my new Q6600?

I just bought a Kentsfield Q6600 and was planning to use my current Zalman CNPS7700-ALCU.

I keep reading that this is a very easily overclocked chip by just bumping it up to 333 even with a stock cooler so I was planning to do that as well.

Zalman never got back to me when I asked them. The website only shows Core 2 Duo as being compatible.

I would have to say this cooler is easily as good as the stock one, just quieter. That being said I would buy the full copper version though for $5 more.

I'm not sure what case I have, it's a cheap one, but I have a total of 5 fans in it. 2 in front, 2 in back, and 1 on the side.

I currently own the Zalman which is why I was planning to reuse it. I use my PC mainly for gaming, but a little bit of video and photo editing too.
