CommanderCrazy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Cant seem to find any, save for 'all socket' type ones that require you to practically reform your mobo. Anyone got any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofhearted4 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 ive heard good things about the Scythe Mugen cooler, but thats not AMD specific. now (for my own learning) why buy a third party cooler? if i dont plan on over clocking i can just stick with the stock cooler right?

Fumofumo Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I use Dark Knight edition of the S1283. The only difference is that the Dark Knight comes with a better fan and has a dark finish... I only bought it because it had a rebate that made it cheaper. A rebate that I never received. Other than that, I run a BE555 unlocked to 4 cores running at 4.0ghz. For AMD motherboards, it's just a clip on. For Intel, you have to screw in brackets. Unfortunately it will do a horizontal mount blowing air towards the top due to the retention clip instead of a more preferred vertical mount exhausting out of the back. Also, if you have ram with tall heat sinks that are too close to the CPU socket, it may get in the way of the attaching heat sink onto your CPU as it can overshadow the slots. My CPU idles at around 32-34 Celsius maxing at around 46-48 Celsius. Ambient temperature is only around 25 Celsius though. Your mileage may vary whether or not you get one of these..
