You need more than a Tuniq tower for 3.5 GHz 24/7 on a Q6600.

I would recommend a Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme with a Scythe Fan.

Edit: Nah, forgot with the new core temps the Tuniq would be fine.

Well, how about that cooling:

Cpu Cooling:

Or:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835101018


And do u think 520W will be enough?

Reply to alveos

Neither of those coolers will get you close the the performance of the Tuniq or Ultra 120.

That Corsair PSU is one of the best on the market atm its extremely solid. The 8800GT suggested by EMP actually uses less power than the GTS anyways.

You original post has DDR ram listed not DDR2 dude it wont fit, let alone work.

Id stick with EMP suggestions... you may not need the 1066mhz RAM but it could also come in handy for the Overclocking.

Water cooling is great but it costs a lot of money to get the same performance of high end air cooling. At the same time a high end water cooling system will destroy a high end air cooling system.

Ok, can you show me any good water cooling system?
