Best quiet air cooler for Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6?

[fpbear]

I was going to buy the GA-P35-DQ6 with the Zalman 9700 cooler but then I heard that the some part of the board needs a little trimming to make the 9700 fit. The system has to be pretty quiet. Is there another low noise air cooler that I should consider? Or just take the risk and take the knife to the board? I would like to run the Intel Q6600 G0 quad core at 3.0Ghz.

Ok I found the self-answer.. Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, and just remove the crazy cool backplate. However I'll probably get the DS3R motherboard instead.

You can fit a Scythe Ninja Plus without any modifications. It is a very cool cooler. I have one on a Gigabyte 680i board and when it is at idle, the fan doesn't even run.

The Arctic 7 Pro that I have on my P35-DQ6 board had to be modified a little. I had to cut away the corner of the fan frame and I clipped the ends of the cooling fins near that corner.

Both of the above coolers don't require the removal of the crazy cool backplate because they are both pushpin mounted.
