I'm upgrading my PC and I'm getting:

GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard

http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16813128048


Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor

http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16819115029



Which cooler would be a good one to get that:

1. Will fit with the motherboard, and I have a Thermaltake Soprano Case.
2. Isn't a pain in the arse to install?
3. I plan on overclocking some, so I want to keep it cool enough.

Should I get the:

1. Zalman CNPS9500? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16835118223

2. Arctic Cooling Freezer 7? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16835186134

or another cooler you guys recommend? I don't want to spend too much, but want one that will fit nicely and isn't too difficult to install.

Thanks alot :)

I've been using the stock Intel HSF, but I'm awaiting delivery of an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7. I decided to go with that one because installation is supposedly a snap, the price was right, and it performs noticeably better than the stock cooler.

what about the new Thermalright Ultima 90I? that's smaller than the Ultra120eXtreme and it should cool very well.
