Archerzz Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I am just starting to overclock my cpu and realizing that stock cooling isnt the best thing in the world for temps, so what is a good cpu cooler for socket AM2 I was looking at this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16835186019 or this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16835103050 leaning more towards the artic cooling one just because they make the awesome paste and the fan will spin faster. Wish newegg gave more specs like air flow but yea any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0tanks Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I would definitely go with the Arctic one, specs are: Heat Sink: 106(L) x 76(W) x 59(H) mm* Fan Size: 60(L) x 60(W) x 15(H) mm Fan Speed: 3000 +/- 10% RPM Air Flow: 25.4 CFM Heat Pipe: 3 pcs Weight: 520 g Noise Level: 0.4 Sone Warranty: 6 Years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Do you need low profile for a certain reason (case, perhaps)? There are much better heatsinks for the money, like the Xigmatek Rifle, or some of the core contact types (Sunbeam?). I would recommend this one: XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 $22 after MIR and free shipping (CONUS) Here's another: ZEROtherm ZEN FZ120 $14 after MIR (!), free shipping as well...

ekiM Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Do remember that the highest CFM coolers aren't always the quietest also remember to factor in the static pressure a fan needs/creates (when buying a cooler that requires you to purchase a fan that suits your own needs (I.E. TRUE)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
