I've Just ordered the Scythe, SCASM-1000. It's got a top facing Fan
which will force the air towards the fans on the side of my case. I
really think top facing fans are better in my case.

I'm tending towards Scythe Mugen/Infinity's at the moment.
Previously I've been a big fan of the Scythe Ninja, infact, I ran an  
Opteron 175 @ 2.64Ghz/1.5v under one semi-passively (no fan on the  
HSF, good case airflow) for over a year.

I even read a review of one which used an early 3Ghz Prescott (the  
"Presshot" stepping) and it ran THAT passively at about 70c.. but  
still..

The thermalright and scythe flagships are considered the best overall -
the fact they are so monsterous make them a favorite among silentPC
enthusiasts because you can use relatively low noise/underpowered 120mm
fans instead of stock. The cooling cababilities of the XP 120 and Ninja
(now all copper) with stock fans and speeds, even on quad cores, is
under-utilized at the moment.

You don't need "ultimate" for the Q6600 from what I've read so the 
Coolermaster Hyper TX2 is excellent and very inexpensive.
