Best Cooler for Intel LGA 775 Q6600

[mlong219]

Hi All,

I have a ASUS P5N-MX motherboard, and my Asus CPU Fan/Heatsink has failed and I'm looking for a replacement. (no water solution)

Can anyone suggest the best LGA 775 cooler for my Q6600?

I currently have the following that has failed.

Thanks!

Is your Q6600 overclocked?

Case permitting, you can't go wrong with : OCZ Vendetta2, Xigmatek S1283 S1284 Dark Knight, Scythe Mugen 2. Make sure you buy the bolt through kit for the Vendetta2 and Xigmatek.

I've got a Xigmatek Dark knight, it works great. I have also heard VERY good things about the sunbeam core contact freezer.

 

[overshocked]

ore contact freezer will suit you well.

and may i add the megahalem?

It is the "best" cooler.

I use an Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro with Arctic Silver grease and I saw a good drop in temperature over the stock LGA 775 cooler.

I have my Q6600 clocked at 3.0 Ghz and I see idle temps at 42C and load temps of 51C.

For a meager 32 dollars you can't really go wrong with it.

Also, having an Antec 900 case will sure help your cooling needs!

I just chose the Cooler Freezer 7 Pro, and Arctic Silver grease, since it would fit in my small ZT System case. Can you tell me what settings you changed to get yours at 3.0ghz?

Thanks!

And you even get a free gift with purchase! A USB cable!

Uh... Who the heck needs another USB cable?!?

Core Contact or Freezer Pro or ... if you got cash to burn then get a True.....

 

[xtream_ocer_intel_nvidia]

omg, you're retarded, you want a Xigmatec S1283, before I went to WC it was keeping my CPU at 32c idle and 40c on load.

Look at the reviews and educate yourself, there is no point in calling me retarded when you don't even have a clue to what is needed for low temps... The ziggy is a decent cooler but the Core Contact is superior. I don't think he is looking for bling ATM, he should be more interested in gettin the lowest temps possible for his Q6600.

BTW if you got 32c - 40c (load) then good for you, I can get 30c - 37c (load) with an AC Freezer Pro 64.....

I will not insult you here on Tom's cause I am here to help, teach and learn..... I hope you have learned from this and in the future try choosing you words first before you hit that "submit" button..... [:jaydeejohn:5]

Seriusly dude..



Look at the reviews and come back when your educated.

Wonder if this is that guy that was banned a few weeks ago. He might be back?

 

[OvrClkr]

I could care less.... Peeps that get banned in the first place basically flopped and have no credibility..... So in all as long as I get that "IT WORKED!!!" quote I am happy....

Some just come here to argue and cause confusion..... While other come to make a difference and help the community.......

Yeah I also had the Artic Cooler for my Q6600 and it worked very good in my Antec 900 case.

I now am using a newer version of that cooler for my Q9550 2.83Ghz and have it OC to 3.6Ghz.

It is a great cooler for the price and does not consume a lot of space either.

Yea but you are an exception, you know about all this, you have been doing this for a while... So you don't count.....

the antec 900 can fit just about anything but if you like a clean case it is a good pick.

Yeah and ryan was pretty cool about it, He let me negotiate.

Thanks dude![:jaydeejohn:5]

I have both a TRUE (bought before the Xig 1283 came out) and a Xig on my two quad core computers (Q6600 and Q9550, both OC'd to 3.6 GHz.). Performance of the TRUE depends a lot on the fan you select to go with it. I think the TRUE is marginally better than the Xig, but it's not worth about twice the price of the Xig after the cost of the fan is factored in.

I also have an ACF7P. It's a dandy budget cooler.

Actually, you should be able to run a Q6600 at 3.0 GHz with the stock cooler and 3.3 GHz with an ACF7P unless you get a chip with a really high VID.

I just installed the Freezer Pro 7, and for some reason I couldn't screw in the plastics so call screws. They would just keep turning, and turning and turning, without becoming tight. So I end up removing the screws from the failed cpu/heatsink and used it. It looks cheap, and I had to place my rig on its side, so the heatsink will stay connected to my processor. My temp is currently at 34c.

Where can I get a installation kit for the Freezer 7 Pro, that has real screws instead of the cheap plastic ones?

Thanks.

jsc?? can you help him out??? I don't do Intel........

Last Intel sink I installed was the V8 and its a lil different than the Freezer 7......

That's because they're push pins, not screws
