The goal is to have a very low noise cpu cooling fan for my Q6600 processor. My PC case is an XPS 720 model. Currently, the fan I've been eager to pick up is the Zalman 9500A 92mm 2Ball CPU Cooler:

Certainly will appreciate any recommendations buds.

Edit: Done the research for a decision.

The OP could grab an Xiggy S1283 for the same price after shipping (on Newegg), and it's loads better than the AC Freezer 7 in terms of cooling.

Also the CM Hyper 212 is a great cooler too for the price.

There shouldnt be any issue because the motherboard has to fit normal heatshinks.

Thanks for the assist 04dcarraher.

Edit: Decided to go with a BTX type cooler after I researched the format of the motherboard.

just my opinion--the Cool Master V8---most bang for the buck!
