Q6600.... I'd get a Thermalright Ultra 120 if you wanna oc.... Q6600 does run hot. those stock intel fan just suck. you can always try the Scythe Katana to try out, its only 30 bux

I just got a Scythe Katana for my E8400 setup. and its great for what I paid for. my E8400 wouldn't even go past stock speed with the stock heatsink and was idling at 40-42 degrees. full load close to 60 degrees

with the katana, i was running 3.6ghz @1.175v idling at 35 degrees and won't even go past 50 degrees under full load.

if i had faster ram, i'm sure i can run 4.0ghz all day with my chip.
