I'm in the process of ordering my Quad Core Q6600, and was wondering what fan/heatsink I should get with it? Whats everyone using? On my current Operton 165 I've got a Zalman, and have had no problems.
The mobo is a Gigabyte GA P35.

Thanks

I think the Gemini II has great potential. Don't know for sure until I get my hands on one later this week and put it on the test bench. I suspect performance will rival the TR Ultra 120 while providing very good cooling to the NB, SB, GPU, and RAMs with two medium speed 120 x 38mm Panaflos. Should outperform the TR Ultra 120 if you have a side vent to draw fresh air into the two fans.

Ive got the thermalright ultima-90 & scythe s-flex fan shipping for my q6600 now. according to reviews it preforms almost as well as the 120 extreme, and is alot smaller, which is the main reason i bought it.
