Need recommendations for a CPU cooler

[Jumpem]

Looking to get an e6600 to 3.2-3.6GHz on a P5B Deluxe. The case will be a P180B if size is an issue.

Anything I should consider besides the Zalman 9500?

 

[myocardia]

Scythe Ninja, Scythe Infinity, Zalman 9500, Thermalright Ultra 120, and Thermaltake Big Typhoon, in that order.

Best 3 are:

Tuniq Tower 120
Thermalright Ultra 120
Scythe Infinity

They are all about the same, give or take 1-2c!

Umm, while the Tuniq Tower 120 is a good heatsink, it still isn't available.

I actually did look. Just not hard enough, I guess!

Do I have to worry about space concerns with these?

No one is really a fan of the Zalman 9500 or 9700?

Of all of the heatsinks we've mentioned so far, the only one that the Zalman 9500 is better than is the Big Typhoon. It's about the same as the Thermalright Ultra 120, IIRC. Here are links to a few heatsink reviews: link.

Where do you get this crappy information from?

The 9500 LED stopped being a great cooler when the newer ones came out:

Thermalright Ultra 120
Scythe Infinity
Tuniq Tower 120
Big Typhoon

I have used the 9500 LED, the Ultra 120 and the Infinity. I kept the Ultra 120 since it was better than the 9500 LED and not as heavy as the infinity!
