Best cooler for phenom II x4 940?????

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
Well, the two big questions are what do you want to do with the CPU (OC, etc.) and what is your budget? A good (in my opinion, it is what I use) low cost medium OC cooler is the AC Freezer 64. If you want one of the top OCs (3.8+) however, you will probably need more, but it will cost a lot more as well.
 
haha i have the phenom 2 940, im using the Thermalright ultima 90 with the antec 900 case - the side fan is attached. thats why i chose a smaller Heatsink. im getting 30 - 33 C doing normal stuff on my desktop ( music, web, msn, and whatnot. ) i did overclock, 3.5ghz 1.4v so.. i would recommend the thermalright ultima 90 if you have a fairly small case
 
As EXT64 has mentioned... what do you want to do with the CPU. If only mild o/c, I run my PII 940@3.5ghz with stock cooler, everthing on default, except the multi. It is running fine, the chipset's heatsink is much hotter than my cpu cooler. (gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H)
 
If you don't mind a little noise the ultra chilltec thermo electric cooler runs my q9650 around 38c to 75c (75c running prime95) overclocked to 4.125ghz.
 


ok amazon have this for £12.99 is that al i need or will i have to geta fitting kit or fan?

I to am wondering what the best cooler for the phenom II 940 is. I overclocked my phenom II to 4.6 but it got very,very hot so i had to drop it back. I also do alot of gaming plus general stuff(cranking some tunes, work, web surfing etc) So whats the best cooler for me? Please don't tell me to get liquid cooling, i did that once. All i'll say about it is that the hose cracked and leaked...you figure out what happened next

Essentially, no. You can get Coolermaster V10 if you have that money, but Thermalright Ultra 120 is the most recommended cooler in the enthusiast community.

I take it that you have some issues with the Ultra-120 :sarcastic: :sarcastic:
 
XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 great price and you get a free USB cable if you get it on Newegg. I just ordered two of them last week. One went on my Phenom 2 940, the other on my old Athlon X2 6000+. Both processors dropped from idling in the 40's to 50's to idling in the low 30's and maxing in the mid 40's. I've been thru several other after market coolers and by far the xigmateks have been the best for the price.
 
how about this one

Cooler Master GeminII


anyone here already try this stuff?

Im using amd 940 pII, but the temprature always heat 55C ++ for normal usage. damn..so right now im still thinking what is the best for my cpu.

so if anyone who already try using cooler master GeminII. please let me know the performances. I like the design and the price is reasonable too. but i dont know about the performance. :pfff:

Many sites still say the Thermalright ultra 120 extreme is the best for amd. The xigmatek is nice at that price range. The 64 Freezer is barely a step above the retail heatsink.

I run my X4 940 @ 3.7 Ghz and idle at 36C and may go to 50C loaded with an ALC Domino cooler, about 70-80 bucks street. I run it on medium speed, which is quite a bit louder than silent.
