Cooling the Q6600

colt1911 · 20-06-2007, 03:24 AM

Is the stock fan that comes with the Q6600 good enough or what do you guys recommend? I have my AS 5 paste , what else would you suggest?

If you won't be overclocking, the stock LGA775 cooler is fine. Stock coolers have come a long way from what they used to be.

If I overclock it will be using the Asus A-I booster that comes with my Mobo, would the stock cooler be ok for that or should I look for an aftermarket brand if so which one would be ok. Some seem to be rather large and I'm concerned with the weight or strain on the Mobo. Thanks for your help.

Well if your going to be doing any overclocking at all, i would invest in an after market cooler. here is a list of the best coolers out now.
