Antec 900 + Q6600. Will a AF7 Pro be enough?

[mgcook]

After reading some threads concerning the Q6600 and the heat it generates. It seems like the Arctic Pro 7 I ordered isn't going to be enough...BUT after thinking about somethings, the Antec 900 case has alot of air flow, so will I be ok with the AF7?

Or should I just get a Tuniq Tower?

yes its fine

NICE... BUT NOT IF U WANNA MASSIVELY OVERCLOCK MASSIVELY, i mean like push 3.4 ghz.... but like if u go to 3.0ghz, i think u can get acceptable temps, but a tuniq tower in my opinion is better for a quad-core, i say af7's are more for dual-cores

 

[mgcook]

well i'm not even sure how to overclock

if i do it i'm not gonna push it to its limits. i'm gonna do it where its completely stable.

but then again, if the antec 900 has such great air flow + an extra case fan then i would think it SHOULD be ok.

if not then i can always just sell it and get a Tuniq Tower. which I might go ahead and do.

anyone wanna buy a AF7 brand new in box? lol
