Q6600 aircooler

[Matellis]

Hi, i am searching a cool air cooler for my Q6600!
Do you guys have any suggestions for me?

I think you are going to need good water cooling to get to 3.5. You are right that cheap water cooling is no better than good air but the Q6600 puts out a lot of heat.
Perhaps a cooler like the Tuniq Tower 120 would work but it will be very close.

I got my Q6600 stable @ 3.6GHz with idle temps of 43-44C on air with a Thermalright Ultra 120 and a Scythe S-Flex 1600 120mm fan. My motherboard is an Asus P5K Deluxe (Intel P35 chipset) BIOS 705.
