Question Cooler for Athlon 455

Make and model of your motherboard? You should be on an AM2+ or AM3 socket, and practically all of their cooler mounts are the same in terms of mounting mechanism. What is your location? What sort of a budget have you allocated towards your cooler purchase? Preferred site for purchase? We'll also need to know the make and model of your case and ram in case you have any clearance limitations in your build.

If you can only afford ten bucks, that rules out most decent coolers, capable of dissipating at least 95W. I suggest you look for a special deal on AliExpress or a second hand eBay cooler.

This tiny AM3 cooler is nearly $13 and is way too small for my liking.

I'd prefer something bigger, but you'd probably thing this is overkill.

I use Thermaltake and Noctual coolers on most systems.
