Hej!

I got the following setup :

Case : Antec Sonata II
Moterhboard : Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R
Memmory : Corsair TWIN2X 6400C4 DDR2, 2048MB CL4
CPU : Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
PowerSuply : Hyper TypeR 480W

I do not really see any point in buyin a Intel i5 750 right now, the diffrence is not that big. Thereby I have decided to clock my Q6600.

To do this i need to upgrade the orginal fan, and I have looked at the following :

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2

or

Xigmatek HDT-S1283

What fan should I choose? Maby there is some other fans that do a better jobb?

BestRegards

Between those two the Xigmatek would be the best choice for cooling performance. It's shown here at 6th place. http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm

The best air cooler right now is the Prolimatech Megahalems, listed in 1st on the same site.

Aha thanks, I dident know about that list. Can i trust it?

The Prolimatech Megahalems(with fan) simes like a fine fan, but the price will be senificant higher then the Xigmatek.

Besides the Megahalems, the first one on the list that I can get is the Xigmatek HDT-S1283. Maby this fan sounds alot higher then the stock fan?

Okay? So Xigmatek is beter then the Scythe Mugen II?

Will these fit on Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R?

Zallman 9 series are anything but crap. I've got my Q6600 overclocked to 3.6 prime stable for 24hrs running around 64-66c accross the board on a CNPS9700. I had a 9500 before but it just couldn't quite handle it..
