I need some help finding a good cooler for my E6700. I've been eyeing the Zalman Fatal1ty FS-C77 Ultimate but I'd like some input before I buy anything.

Top 3 air coolers right now are: Scythe Infinity w/ dual fan config, Tuniq tower, and Thermalright Ultra 120+120mm fan. Any of those 3 will do. The Thermalright Ultra is the winner on Anandtech coolers review. You can add a high performance fan to go with it. Read this article http://anandtech.com/casecooling/showdoc.aspx?i=2943.

Software Argh, Windows 10. I hated Windows 7. I hate Windows 10 more. Give me back XP!!!
i suggest the ultra-120, or if you can wait the ultra-120 extreme

everything i have read suggests it is the best available right now when paired with any decent fan
