Coolers for Core2 E6700
I'm about to put together a E6700 Core2 system as a compute server, both
cores will be under heavy load for long periods of time, I won't be overclocking. Is the stock Intel cooler adequate or should I use a better cooler?

For what it's worth, I see no temp issues on a 6600 with the standard cooler and heavy CPU load. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Coolers for Core2 E6700
It is highly recommended, for your uses, that you invest in something like a
Zalman cooler. -- DaveW ---------------- "General Schvantzkoph" wrote in message ...

Is the stock Intel cooler adequate or should I use a better cooler? The stock cooler is more than adequate. Otherwise, Intel would face class action lawsuit. But, I have always used Zalman coolers not necessarily because of its cooling capabilities but because of its quietness.

I've ordered a system from MonarchComputer with the Intel stock cooler. Monarch isn't offering any alternative coolers with Core2s because the weight of the good coolers is so high that they rip off during shipment. They have a point, the Thermaltake Big Typhoon is over 800 grams, the Zalman is nearly as heavy.
