At the moment I'm looking that something does not go okay with supported CPU's. Mine is 125W, but maximum supported is only 95 for this processors series on this cooler?

i dont know much about amd im an intel guy. but that cooler isnt made for that cpu.
should ask for the best cooler for that cpu.

 

[StrangleHold]

How much are you looking to spend on a cooler?

 

[diduknowthat]

Eh, that's a really old model. I would be hesitant to use it on such a high powered CPU.

The website claims it could work for that processor, but if you plan on gaming or overclocking, I'd probably get something different.

 

[Forwox]

Okay guys. Yeah, it is pretty old. But anyway. I'm on it right now. Max load: 61°c
I don't think that it is bad at all.

I bought this cooler for very good money. I'll see it how it goes.
Thanks for response, guys!

^mmm, well you won't be doing much, if any, overclocking then cause your close to the max temp for that proc.

 

[Forwox]

Well, I ran OCCT program to stimulate 100% CPU usage. And temperature went up to 61°c - 62°c and was staying right there. Just checked OCZ Vanquisher temps. Mine runs even colder than that gigantic cooler. I was not waiting for that.

Actually, if you got something on your mind about correct cooler for this cpu, then explain me please.
