Intel Stock Coolers?

[Maccer101]

Is the stock cooler for all Dual & Quad cores the same?

I have a spare cooler for a Q6600 would this be better than a stock E2180 cooler?

Reason being, I have a E2180 with after market cooler that I was thinking of swapping onto at Q6600, but only if the Quad Stock cooler could handle a 288x10 over-clocked E2180 that I would take it off, and also not be as noisy as hell

Otherwise will just buy a another after market for the Quad

They seem to differ slightly. I didn't think so but I have two for an E6600 and one for a Q6600 and the Q's is slightly bigger. I assume it is a little better, whether it will lead to a much higher clock I don't know, perhaps a bit.

May try it out and then if the Intel cooler can't handle the job just spend a few quid. only need something to quieten down the Quad in the Dell (mATX case) since I can't OC the Dell and need something small to fit in could buy an Akasa 965 (92mm fan) jobby.

StaffsMike, you are one of the reasons I just posted a message in the General Discussion Forum.

Thanks
