4200+ X2 cooling

Aero · 1 Nov 2007 at 16:56

Can someone please help to spec me a new heatsink and fan for my cpu? As mine has decided it wants to be noticed and now rattles

I'm looking for something fairly quiet that will keep it cool (obviously) but I don't intend on overclocking. I was looking at the sycthe Ninja but i don't know if this is a bit overkill and would it fit in my case?

I think this is all the info required? (if more is needed just ask

)

4200+ X2 AM2 (its the lower wattage version if that helps)
NZXT zero case
Gigabyte AM2 nForce 430 ATX Audio Lan Mobo

Cheers

arctic cooler gets my vote as well, cooling my 4600 as we speak. nice easy fit as well.

Just picked up a Hyper TX 2 this morning for my X2 4200, pretty good on first impressions. With the case closed and room temperature of 22C it is idling around 27C compared to 40C with the stock cooler. Under load it hits around 36C - 40C compared to around 50C previously. Pretty quiet so far as well.
