AMD Phenom X4 9550BE... what type of cooling?

[pubairplanes]

Hey all,

I'm about to order a Phenom 9550be. What kind of cooling will I need for minor overclocking. I have heard that the stock cooler is sufficient, is this true?

If not, can anyone recommend anything?

Thanks

well it is quite a beefy cooler,i would open your pc and measure the case,the sizes of the cooler ore on the site.

Theres other alternatives though depending on your budget.


Theres this one at $69

The Tuniq is a beast, but I'd check to see if it would fit in your case before you buy it;

131mm (W) x 108mm (H) x 153mm (D)

Socket 478, LGA775, k8 ( 754 / 939 / 940 )

Support AM2 Socket (New Version)

I'd also check it's going to fit the new AM2+ socket.
