What Cooler Do You use on Your Core 2 Duo?

As I've said in a previous post, the stock cooler is doing an ace job! going to give o/clocking a go and watch the temps. But otherwise I think I'd go for a tuniq tower. The AF 7 pro represents great value cooling but it can be a bit noisy, so I've heard.

It's what people would call loud at max speed. Anything below 2500RPM is pretty much inaudible to me over the rest of the system/outside traffic. I run mine on max (2800RPM) and I can't hear it now, but I always have music on.

found a nice overclock test on a core 2 duo... it uses many coolers... the thermal take typhoon is the best.

u overclocked the E6600??

yes my e6600 is at 3150
the e6300 ive put freezer 7s on were overclocked to 2450

my e6600 is unusual though ive built several other e6600 systems overclocked the same to 3150, but they idle at 10-15 c hotter with the same mobo, cooler, ram, case, everything
