What's your favourite air cooler for your CPU for overclocking ? Gonna buy a new one shortly still have the standard intel one for the Q6600.

I've a Q6600 too and I've just ordered a Cooler Master Hyper TX 3 from Komplett.
It should push all the hot air out the back of the PC rather than down onto the mobo like the stock intel fan.

Don't really have a budget was thinking Tuniq 120 extreme or thermalright 120 extreme so I guess that kinda money 40-€50. If you can recommend something else that's along those lines been outta the overclocking loop for the last couple of years so wanna get a cooler for starters then upgrade to ddr3 ram. Have ddr2 1066 crucial ballistix at the minute.

Noctua D14 is one of the best cpu air cooler you can get.
Prolimatech super mega air cooler is another excellent cooler for overclocking but its huge.

Actually have been thinking about the noctua nh-d14 alright and It'll fit in my case and motherboard too (antec 900 and gigabyte ga-p35c- ds3r ) where's the cheapest place to buy it ? Amazon has it for £67 with free shipping

hardwareversand.de has it for 67eur but you get 30eur shipping so I'ld say amazon is probably the cheapest. Check scan.co.uk and overclockers.co.uk too.

As far as I recall scan don't do noctura products but I'll have a look incase I'm wrong. It's mad that it can be got for around €52 in the states and it made in Europe but we here get screwed for €20 odd extra doesn't make sense. Cheers for the help.

I bought my D14 from Komplett.ie. 79.95 euro with free shipping. It's a quality product, very easy to install.
