[SOLVED] Is the DeepCool CK-AM209 enough for an Athlon X4 840?

I don't know if the CPU runs hot or not. If any of you know how the temps are on the Athlon that could give me an idea, thanks.

The cooler is rated at 65W and the Athlon is rated as a 65W CPU. So it is right at the margin. Safe, yes. Should be fine.
But you may want to find a cooler with a bit more headroom if you want to keep the old CPU from reaching near max temps at stressful times.

Oh, okay, thanks!
