Yeah, I want to get a new one, 'cause my current one doesnt really cool that well. I'm going to buy it from this local computer store PCL and these are the models they've got: http://pclcomputers.nl/produktselectie.asp?catnm=13&type=94

I was thinking about a zalman cooler, but I'm not that good with coolers so i need some help.
I've got an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor.

What's a good one in your opinion?

Edit: Budget is around 50€
Ill also buy some Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound

Get the ThermalRight Ultra 120 Extreme, Tuniq Tower, or Noctua NH-U9F.

Getting it is the easy part, but will it fit?
HSF these days are humongous which I find to be ridiculous, but until fusion cooling come alone then all we can do is continue to use it.

For thermal paste get MX-2, it's better than AS5

As far as thermal paste goes, the MX-2 is more impressive than AS5, although OCZ Freeze is worth looking at for fast-acting grease.

The Zalman CNPS9700 (the only Zalman that can decently play a game of catchup with the better coolers) is extremely expensive, especially when putting it in terms of price vs. performance.

On top of the list generated by Rapion (which are all among the best coolers available), you should also see the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 (which I'm sure Zarr will tell you to buy, for good reason too) and the TT Big Typhoon, and the older Big Typhoon.

I eventually got a Scythe cooler. The store didnt have Noctua's 'cause their supplier didnt sell them. I just installed it (Took me 1.5 hour >_<). Had some difficulties, such as forgetting to plug that 4 pin power connector into the mobo, before installing the heatsink Razz

.

But now my cpu is running at 25 degrees celcius Very Happy

.
Does anyone have a program to check temps under full load?

I think this would work out.

For stress testing, the only program you're going to want to use is Prime95 (small FFTs). Use Realtemp or Speedfan for checking temperatures.

Run this simple program.

1. Download/Extract
2. Execute on the amount of cores your cpu has
3. Go to task manager and set affinity for each cpu
4. Set time limit for all execution runs (all be the same)
5. Disable error correcting and let it produce maximum heat
6. Run all the test at once.

If done correctly, you'll see your cpu reach 100% on each core.

Supports Vista 32bit and 64bit

Just a lil notice, I love the cooler!!
With my old cooler, if i wanted to bot on 2 maplestory's my cpu would get to around 70 degrees and the cooler would make a shitload of noise.
But now, I'm botting and the cpu stays at 40 degrees Very Happy

. And I can barely hear the cooler.
