At the moment ive got a SLK-948 on my AMD 64 3000+ but in the next few days i should be getting a X2 3800+ so im looking at upgrading my heatsink and fan as well, whats the best performing one around at the min? Max price is £26

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro gets recommended time and time again, so it must be pretty good.

And at £17.04 it's a nice price too. Fits s939 and AM2 as well, thanks to the way it connects to the cpu bracket thingy.

ive heard a lot about that although quite a few of the posts have said its build quality isnt always up to scratch

Really? That's odd, I've heard nothing but heaps of praise lavished upon it! Always take these things with a pinch of salt I suppose!

I finally managed to dig up that link I saw a while ago about it working on AM2. So before the naysayers arrive:

will this fit on a neo2 m/b with no clearance issues in a CM-201BTX case

scythe ninja, TTBT, si-120, scythe mine, all good coolers if you get the right fan

Well during this heatwave I had a lack of faith with the cooler g pro so i ordered the freezer pro 64. But come to think of it it was a little bit zealous in doing so. I think the past few weeks temps has been sending people to order fans and what not due to the current climate.

So I now have a freezer cooler pro which is not gonna get used. Doh!
