Which cooler for my P5W DH

[abarrett]

I am thinking about getting a better CPU cooler (other than my current stock cooler) for my Q6600.

I have the Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard but I can't find anything in the internet reagrding what coolers will fit onto my motherboard.

Can someone help?

Many thanks?

I have a Zalman CNPS9700 on mine right now. Does a pretty good job on my E6600, but for a quad I would go with the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme. It's also going to depend on how much you want to overclock (if any) and what size case you have, as some of the higher end coolers (ie-the TR ultra 120) will not fit alot of cases. If you don't plan on overclocking, you could get a cheaper cooler that will do the job and save quite a bit of money.

Ive currently got thr Q6600 2.4Ghz G0 Stepping processor.

I do plan to overclock (but not much) maybe to 2.8 or 3GHz.
