Radiator Suggestions

[boomhower]

As you can see from my current processor it isnt going to take alot to keep it cool. What I am concerned about is my next CPU. I had planned on going with an E6750 but the E8400 looks like its worth waiting for. I had planned to go with a MCR320. But with the Penryn having a TDP of only 65 watts would a 220 be enough? I am still not sold on quads so I dont see me going that direction anytime soon. The main reason for this is that I want get a used rad to sabe some cash, you can find 220's all day long, not so much with 320's. If it makes a difference I already have an Apogee GT and a 655 pump. Thanks for the help.

The 220 will handle up to around 150-200W with the right fans and airflow.

You'll be fine with a 220.

go with the largest radiator possible.

You want to have the most headroom. Also the price difference between the 2 is very small. So if you have the room, or the mod skills, just get the 320.

Thanks for the help guys. Looks like I'll just stick it out for the 320.
