I've just upgraded my CPU to a q9650 as a final upgrade, to last me until the next generation of chips comes out. At the moment i'm using a Scythe Katana 2 cooler, which i'm really happy with as it's really easy to install (standard intel push-pin design), plus it's extremely quiet (the main reason I originally chose it).
The Katana 2 is good, but I really want to get the most out of my q9650 so it'll last me as long as possible. I'd like a new hsf with better cooling, which is also very quiet and is also installable with the intel push-pins (i haven't got the patience for anything else).
What recommendations can you give me? I haven't kept up on cooling over the past few years so any help is much appreciated!
