Phenom II 940 BE

[jmhoman3]

I am in need of a after market heatsink.

I have an antec 900 case,

Which heatsink would get me the lowest possible marks and be relatively cheap?

20-40 dollars.

A little more that $40, but it's what I use. I run a 940 at 3.8 and idle is about 37c, around 48 under full load.

Thats really good. I might look into that, any other opinions?

^he 9500A is old and not that good any more. DO NOT get it.

Get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835207004
Core Contact Freezer. $25 after MIR.
It's rated #4: http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm
(See the review. It's leagues ahead of the 9500 AT. )
Imo, it's the best HSF under $30.

Sorry, I meant about 27 at idle, but electric is included at my apt, so I keep it quite frosty in here. Yes, this cooler has been around for a bit, but it's performed flawlessly for me. As pointed out, I'm sure there are better ones out there, but I've seen no reason to buy a different one.
