Phenom II Heatsink

[Forevermore1337]

I'll make this short and sweet.

Upgrading to Phenom II 955, need better heatsink. I would prefer something not overly expensive, so give me a range. I've only ever had experience with ONE aftermarket HS, so i really don't know where to start.

Thanks.

I'd look at this page for heatsinks... if you want NewEgg.

The AC7 is pretty weak for a 955.

The price changes on that V8 is giving me whiplash. 52.95 to 39.99 to 69.99 - to 44.00 - back to 69.99

yea, if you can, get a V8, theyre amazing, and i didnt know wat ur budget was

I was looking to stay below about $60. I've been looking around a bit myself. How are the Xigmatek rifle coolers? They seem to get good reviews and aren't too pricey.

$60!!

Oh no worries then

Keep an eye on the CM V8!! It's a great cooler esp if you get it cheap

Amazon has it at 44.99 right now - w/ Free Shipping. Outside of another Black Friday type of deal - that's pretty darned low.

Great Deal and def worth the money

Thanks, i'll keep a good look out for the V8. There should be some pretty nice deals on Newegg in the near future.

Another idea, maybe a Noctua heatsink?
