Cooling a Q6600

I don't know if this is a newcomer's question but I am a newcomer so here goes:

In a P182 case with a single rear fan, will a fanless Scythe Ninja be sufficient to cool a Q6600 cpu with G0 stepping?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply,

If you already have an exhaust fan, it will for sure. Without any fan in proximity, i don't know.

are you running the top case fan as well? I have the same setup and I was running my q6600 @ 3.4Ghz with a naked Ninja Rev B. I have both tricools on low and it did get hot but not unstable.. So if you're not going to OC it then you'll be fine. my Asus p5k-premium has the CPU very close to those top/rear fans so it's all i need. Good luck.

My intention is to remove the top fan in the P182 (to reduce noise and because it does not seem to increase cooling from spcr articles I have read) and just use the rear fan. I will not be overclocking or gaming. It sounds like a naked Ninja may be ok. Any other thoughts anyone?
