Freezer 7 vs Tuniq vs Infinity

If you're staying under 3ghz. Then get the Freezer.

Generally...

Tuniq > Infinity > Freezer
 
sub 3ghz?? stick with stock cooler man!

I was able to run 8x400=3200 with a stock cooler. Temps went to about 68'c under load. I got a freezer 7 hoping to do better, but all it did was bring load temps to about 58'c. Something is up with mine. I can wobble it around if I apply pressure to different edges of it, thus lifting it up from the ihs.

IHS is lapped for the record. Honestly, those clip lock style systems don't work too well in my opinion.

Infinity and Tuniq are real pricey anyway unless you're serious about overclocking on air. And staying under 3 ghz, I don't see the point to anything but stock. It gets the job done fine enough and is quiet.
 
Freezer 7 will do just fine, but if it were me, and knowing my habits I would get the Tuniq because I would not be happy with sub 3Ghz on a chip capable of so much more for so little extra work...
 
Question: Why the hell would you run an E6300 sub-3GHz? Most can hit at least 3.2 with a decent board, cooler, and RAM. Even for a modest ~3GHz overclock, a Freezer 7 Pro would be adequate. The others will obviously cool a lot better, but they're also much more expensive.
 
Hey, once I get my watercooling supplies in, my freezer is going up for sale :p. Figure I could return it to newegg for a 15% restocking fee but that money loss would better suit someone else looking for an ac freezer7
 
freezer 7 for ease of installation (no metal backplate)

tuniq for effeciency.. scythe ninja/infinity comes 2nd to that.
 
I know the E6400 overclocks easily to well above 3.0, but "easily" doesn't apply to me as I am a complete newbie to oc. Thanks for all the replies! I guess I'll get the Freezer.
 
If you can get to a sub 3 overclock, then you can get above a 3Ghz overclock the exact same way...thats the wonderful thing about the Conroe chips, if you are a total noob, its easy, if you know what your doing, you can get REALLY REALLY good results.
