deluded_reality Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) What's a good aftermarket CPU cooler for an AM3 build? The CPU is the Phenom II x4 965 BE 3.4Ghz (125w) and this is the motherboard. It needs to be less than $55. Thanks. edit: Thoughts about this one?

insan3 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) cooler master v8 on sale on newegg for $41 free shipping. on sale until Sunday because of the black Friday discounts.( newegg.ca and CDN price ) Edited November 26, 2009 by insan3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluded_reality Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) That thing's huge. Plus, it has a lot of users complaining about bad screws. Moreover, I won't be ordering it before mid December, so black Friday discounts don't matter. But damn that thing is sexy.

Scottike Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 You may want to check this out: CPU Cooler Reviews Their AMD list is on the lower part of the page. At the end of each review they show a comparison list with other coolers they have reviewed. (40 or 50) I always take a look here when I'm shopping for a new cooler.

deluded_reality Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the link Scottike. Unfortunately, Newegg doesn't carry some of the coolers on their AMD list. Anyway, what do you guys think of this one? insan3, I still have kept the V8 on my list. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

slick2500 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I would have to recommend the 120MM version of the Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer, OCC did a review of it here. It was able to hold its own even against the TRUE only scoring a few degrees below it. I recently purchased one with my cpu running at 3.6Ghz on stock volts I am yet to see the temp go over 40 on my 550 BE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
