I'm on budget, and I can't decide between the the following 2 heat sinks.

Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

Scythe SCMN-1000 100m Sleevep

Scythe one looks a little weird with the fan inside (this can be replaced if ever needed right?)

ACF7 has tons of good reviews, while Scythe is in the Intel "What to Buy 2006"

My CPU is an E6600, which I'll only be looking to oc to 3.0Ghz or so. The mobo probably will be DS3 - I haven't ordered one yet.

I'd go with the Scythe Mine for sure :) I'm running 3Ghz now with a Thermalright Ultra120 with no fan (using a duct system instead)... max temp in games is only about 43c :)

Ok, I oredered Scythe Mine. It actually ended up being like $1 cheaper because free shipping was included (and the Artic Cooler had $6.50 shipping or something like that). So I got a better cooler and saved $1 :D
