Easy to install cooler for Quad?

[Riddleofsteel]

Anyone know of an easy (relatively) to install heatsink for a Quad core intel chip that still cools really well? I am not too deft with my hands and my case is kind of cramped but I am still doing some research on my options. Thanks!

You'll probably want to pass on the Thermalright coolers then, they use a backplane so you have to remove your motherboard to install them, but they do offer some of the best cooling, especially the TRUE and the Ultima90. If you're not planning on overclocking, just the stock intel cooler works pretty well but it won't do wonders with higher Vcores and speed.

Check out any of the dozens of q6600 threads in this subforum for heatsink ideas.

the freezer 7 pro on new egg has an open box for a mere 11.99$ and it's easy to install and has over 1000 ratings for the retail package.
