heatsink for minor OC recommendations

[abast]

I'm looking at getting either the EVGA NF68-A1 or the Striker Extreme, probably the EVGA.

And a Q6600, I'd like to do some basic OC to get it around 3.0ghz Is that reasonable?

Looking for Heatsink recommendations, and any thoughts on different parts?

Thanks

you should just spend some time reading some other threads on the forum.. there are about a million threads that ask similar questions.

but here.. i'll help you out a little:

q6600 @ 3.0ghz? yes. b3 or g0.. easily attainable - almost guaranteed

heatsink recommendations? @ 3.0ghz, you don't need a really good heatsink... my b3 stepping can run 3.0ghz at stock voltages - but just don't use the stock heatsink.

top two heatsinks (general consensus.....)
1. Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme/nonextreme (undisputedly the best)
2. Tuniq Tower 120

your config looks good. w/ high end parts you probably can easily go higher than 3.0ghz

TRU120Ex keeps my q6600 at 27 idle and 35 load at 3Ghz and a voltage of 1.18v (g0 stepping)

Thanks for the replies. I've narrowed done my choices by reading the various posts.
Seen good reviews on the Tuniq.
Any other recommendations?
