Best cpu cooler

hi im in the middle of building a pc i am about to purchase my processor which will be a q6600 quad core,ive been searching and searching for the best cpu cooler!!its going to be a fairly powerful system when all finished so im needing advice on the best cpu's,i know this question can open up a whole can of worms so i have narrowed it down to a few i was looking at buying,i just wondered what people thought of my choices,anybody had good/bad experiences with these,here are my choices-

thermaltake big typhoon
asus arctic square 92mm
tuniq tower 120mm

im really steering towards the tuniq as ive heard so many good things,my friend was running a tuniq for a q6600 quad and he said it was awesome,i just wondered what anybody thought before i buy in a few days

thanks lee.

I've heard good things about the tuniq and the typhoon just that theyre huge and might not fit your case. Never heard of the asus one so I cant say much about it


I run a Gigabyte G power pro on my e6600 and its great for cooling her down.

Make sure you get some arctic silver 5 or some of that liquid metal stuff for the heatsink compound or you'll be missing out.

sorry im late getting back starwarskid,appreciate your info!!well my case is a antec 900 so do you think my case will be big enough?this is my first build so unsure about what will fit.
thanks lee

with the 900 you can use about any cooler you want

i have the bigest cooler ive ever seen in mine
geminii with 1 120 rewired to 7v
it runs basicly silent and keeps the cpu cooler then the mb

also if you plug the hole in the side of the 900 it cuts the sound from the case in 1/2 and runs cooler
i removed the mesh and plastic with hole and replaced it with 1/8 in plexy

Zalman CNPS 9500 or 9700
Newegg carries both
Remember the arctic silver 5 too!
