Need a bit of advice concerning CPU coolers.

I have a 975XBX2 MB, a Q6600 quad processor, 2 gig Corsair PC8500 RAM, and an ATI 3870 vcard. All installed in an Antec P182 case.

What I want to know is what’s a good fitting CPU cooler. Don’t want things too cramped; I also don’t plan on going past 3gig on on the processor.

The processor is clocked at 2.8gigs on stock cooling and my temps at idle are around 60 Celsius. I have a B3 stepping.

I’ve looked at the Zalman 9500 and 9700, but haven't decided on anything yet. Also is there a particular fan I should look at for the cooler. Would like to keep noise down.

Thanks

Easy to mount(no Mobo removal required) and its cheap, should be more than enough for 3GHz.

I have this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835118003

No compaints, easy to install.

And I've heard even better things about this one (came out after I got the one above):

I've already mentioned that I looked at those .

Sorry, scanned over your post and missed that.
