It's a pretty good cpu cooler, don't know how well it works on an AMD. I had one back in the day on my 775.

I actually just finished building a gaming rig for my Nephew and used the 965@125w. And I have to say that is an awesome CPU! It does run rather warm though. Was able to get stable 4 ghz and NB of 2600 on it with a little tweaking. I used a Zalman as the CPU cooler.

@logitic, thanks for the info, and sorry its taken so long to reply. been running around like a blue arsed fly these past couple of days. managed to get my ocz on properly, and im just under 3.9, though theres still along way to go before i think ill be happy, (isnt there always), and theres little or no differance in the noise or the temp coming from the cooler.

cheers!
