Hello.
I'm currently looking for a new CPU cooler for my Q6600 on the UD3R motherboard and was just wondering if the Akasa AK-966 Blue Aurora will be able to fit on fine in the proper orientation?
Its currently running at 3.2Ghz overclock, 34-40c idle and 50-55c on normal load, 65-70c on Intel Burn Test/OCCT with an Akasa AK-961. (Does an okay job, but way too loud!)
Due to how high the Northbridge heatsink is, I'm not so sure if there is enough clearance for this cooler to be mounted on properly. Budget limitations has led me to chose this particular cooler and from some reviews I've read, it seems to do a very good job, better than even the good old Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro.
If I had a bigger budget or maybe more time to save up, I probably would have gone for something like the Thermalright Ultra/TRUE (Which I know fits on this board fine), but only problem is due to the size of that itself.
My case is a NZXT Lexa Classic - Silver, and I am just not so sure that monster of a cooler will be able to fit in properly, and so the Akasa seems to be about the reasonable choice due to its size.
Others I may be interested in are the Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer or the Akasa AK-967 Nero.
Any ideas please?
