In the market for a CPU H/S
My budget is 90$, I want to buy the best cooler for my future q6600 [plan to OC], so far im leaning towards the ThermalRight IFX-14, any suggestions?

This is the best air cooler for CPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835109125. It's only $60 so u can buy a 12cm fan to go with it with the left over moneys. |

The Thermalrights are the biz, but be aware that they can only mount in 1 direction on socket 939.
Check out http://www.frostytech.com/ for some other options; but don't forget the wealth of reviews right here on TPU.

why not go watercooling since you have the budget to.. a swiftech h20 120 compact will perform really well for you!

i've got a 120 ultra on my 5000 black edition. i'd personally invite you to witness is if you want but i'd put stake in the fact that my cooler with 1 panaflo and not 2 could decimate most water cooling setups. for instance, i idle around say 25 in an 18c room and load about 36c during orthos priority 10. i don't see many water cooling setups beating that and my case weighs less. albiet i am running a nake 5000 with that montser underneath, but i will say the ultra120x does give some watercooling a run for it's money.

well a couple of weeks ago i got this Tuniq T-120-LFB , which i plan to use on my current rig [or i can do it otherwise]. But according to this review thatZEROtherm Nirvana NV120's performance is close to the IFX-14's, which is good because theres a big price gap between them.
