The story is I'm REALLY pushing my B3 stepped Q6600. 8x400 and the voltage is 1.325v. Temps wander with A/C on and off all the time. My small office heats up easily. Idle - 46,44,36,42 (70°F room) 48,46,39,44 (74°F room). Load temps, lol, I shut down Prime when the hottest core hits 70. This is the speed I want to run at so I am risking it with my current cooler. I have reseated the cooler with AS5 with no improvements. I've always been a Zalman fan but it's time to move onto something better. Here's a breakdown of what I'm looking for and all opinions are welcome and appreciated.
1. Same size as the Zalman CNPS9500. It can be a little bigger but not much.
2. Quiet. I really don't want a leaf blower in there.
3. Hot air needs to exhaust towards the rear of the case. I don't want my power supply sucking up all the heat from the CPU.
