I need a new CPU fan/heatsink!!

py2006

Hi all,

I discovered recently that I need a new cpu fan as the stock one that I use with my q6600 is not clicking properly in the motherboard so its not very secure. It has caused the pc not to boot up fully on occasion.

I was considering overclocking the q6600 so could somebody recommend a good but largely inexpensive cpu fan/heatsink to replace my stock one that will also allow me to overclock my cpu?

Thanks

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro its cheap around 30 euro and very good

Freezer Pro wouldn't be up to the job of overclocking a quad.

Just to note that Thermalright Ultra is only a heatsink, You'll need to add a good fan. Another contender here is the is the Tuniq Tower which does come with a fan (hidden in the centre of the heatsink), I'm sure You'll find it somewhere cheaper than OCUK.

Hmmm I have a Q6600 o/c to 3ghz with temps of 38 idle and 58 load, so its not to bad for a medium o/c on a quad

Oh yea, I will definitely need a fan aswell. That one looks rather pricey alright.
