im looking to spend around £40 on a cooler for my CPU, ive reached 2.24ghz, but i want around 2.8-3ghz on moderately low temperatures.
any ideas?

Scytyhe Infinity is awesome
very nice...not sure if it will fit my case though![]()
Good for OC but too big in some cases it blocks memory slots and you have to move the memory over to other slots, Dominator is a no go in systems with this cooler usually, looks tacky too. The Ninja etc has same problems.
Zalmans probably a better alternative
Zalman CNPS9700-NT
The AC Freezer 7 Pro is very good. Cheap as well. And quiet. Holds my E6300 @ 3ghz to a core temperature (temperature read from internal sensor) of around 50 degrees at 100% load on both cores. The motherboard sensor reads around 42 at the same load. Its quite tall though.
i had a look at the AC freezer 7, and i may buy that depending on how soon i need a decent cooler.
but at the moment the zalman is in the lead![]()
ill pretty much go for any cooler that someone has tried and tested, its just that ive got to try and get it into my case without colliding with the rear fan...
Thermalright SI-128 it will fit in your case and cools fantastically. I have one for sale which isnt needed as I use watercooling. PM me if you are interested.
Ive tried and tested AC Freezer 7 Pro its a very quite and solid cooler, highly recommend.
Also had mine running on a E6300 i know it will hold it at 3ghz+ at good temps.
Tuniq Tower...
the BEST air cooler
A very strong recommendation for the Scythe Mine which thrashed the opposition in PC Pro's review (December 2006). Nothing else came close for cooling plus it is quiet as a mouse. It was tested on a E6700 so I guess that will do the trick. I bought one for £25 from Scan as a direct result of the test.
thanks for that all of you![]()
Another vote for Tuniq Tower 120.. Search the forums I think I've said this 3 times already
Review.

Core2Duo e6600 @ 3.6ghz - Tuniq Tower 120 - Asus P5B Deluxe AP/Wifi - BFG 8800GTX - 2GB Corsair 6400C4 Pro - X-fi Elite Pro - Razer HP-1 5.1 Headphones - Dell 2405fpw - Logitech mx5000 - Razer Copperhead - Nostromo n50 - MountainMods U2-UFO case.
looks good....not sure it will fit in my case though!!
The Tuniq Tower is the best out there, air cooler wise. But the price and size is just silly.
If you are able to spend £££ on an air cooler then that is it. I would go the full wack and get decent water cooling if i was gonna pay that much for air.
Edit- From that review of the Tuniq, it looks like it needs lapping.
