WakeUpDead Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 I want to buy a stock Heatsink and fan of of a FX 55, 57, 60. I think the duel core Optys have the same thing, so that would be fine too. Its the big heatpipe kind. I got my FX55 without one and would like to give it a try. I use a XP90 now and just want to see if the stock HS would perform better. Please let me know if you have yours laying around, and would like to sell. I live in Kentucky, USA so would like to buy from USA to save shipping cost. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tuna Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 FYI....the AMD heatpipes come in two flavors, one with a recessed fan and one with the fan on top, and both perform very well. .......about the same as your TR xp-90. Curiousity is really the only reason to change, and the stock one is perhaps a little more versatile with various motherboards. That being said, I have an X2 4400 HP/Fan new in box never mounted. Want to trade it for the Thermalright? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakeUpDead Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Yes, Im looking for the fan on top kind. I kinda want to compare the two, before I sell/trade the XP90 off. Thats just it, I dont know if the stock HSF will cool my FX 55 better or not. I was thinking someone just had one laying around that they could part with fairly cheap. I only need it for 3 months, till I have the cash for water cooling. Thanks for the offer though, I'll keep it in mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 The tests at MadShrimp showed the newer 4 Pipe version about equal (actually a tad higher) than the XP-90. The 2 Pipe version that was shipping last year with the FX-57 isn't as good. Both are nice and easy to install. May want to try remounting the XP-90.
