Help with choosing a HSF for 6600 on a DQ6 mobo

[Tibby]

Hey

I understand this motherboard is really problematic in terms of heatsinks because of its back plate.

However, my only real options (only stuff I can find around here) are the TT Big Typhoon, Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 or the Zalman 9500.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Oh, almost forgot: I intend to overclock the CPU (E6600). Not a crazy overlock (probably around 3 Ghz) but an Overclock nontheless.

It's very simple to remove the crazy cool back plate and install any heatsink afterwards.

I did it!

Doesn't it cause any problems to the cooling system?
And do you know of any guide for doing so?

This is doing it with CrazyCool installed:

Too much work I think.....


I removed Crazy Cool and didn't have any problems.

All you have to do is remove 2 or 3 screws on the top of the motherboard, then flip it over and push the white clips up to release the crazy cool. Then push the white clips back down to secure the heatpipe again.
