Hi. this is my build...

CPU INTEL Q6600 SLACR 2.40GHZ
FAN THERMALTAKE CL-P0257 (BLUE ORB 140MM + 17DB)
MAINBOARD ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA X48
SOUND INTEGRATED
VIDEO RADEON SAPPHIRE HD4870 X2
RAM CORSAIR TWINX XMS-2-8500 2x2GB
HDD 2 X 500GB S-ATA 16MB
THERMALTAKE TSUNAMI VA3000
MONITOR BENQ G2400 24" WIDESCREEN
PSU THERMALTAKE TOUGHPOWER 1000W

What i want to know is the Blue Orb II any good for Overclocking with this setup or should i go for another HS/fan.would The Blue Orb II be capable of taking the cpu upto 3.6. I know that cpu's are ia bit of a lottery in the OC dept i have read mixed reviews on the orb from noisy to whisper quiet but none have said anything about the cooling on an overclocked cpu.

dunno. if you want flashy looks get the zalman 9700, if you want performance get the xigmatek HDT-S1283

Or if you want to preserve the secondary cooling of components near the CPU that your Blue Orb (and similar "downdraft style" coolers) supports, there's the Zalman 8700.
