Which CPU Cooler?

Gilbert Coquard · 8 Jun 2009 at 22:50

Would be ideal and actually fit in this setup?

Cooler Master Elite 335
Asus M4A78-Pro

Still undecided on CPU, but it will be one of these -
AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black or AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition

ps.. are them freezer 64's any good with dual core or even triple core?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers lads

One more question regarding the sunbeam cooler.. it says it comes with TX-2 thermal grease. Is that stuff good or should i be looking at the Artic silver 5? never applied thermal compound to a CPU before, so am a bit nervous about it all.

messed up..

trackrat · 8 Jun 2009 at 23:53

TX-2 is as good as Artic.

How did you mess up?.

Gilbert Coquard · 8 Jun 2009 at 23:57

That's good news cause it'll save me having to buy the artic 5 stuff.

ps.. will it come in a tube, or will it be on the heatsink?

trackrat · 9 Jun 2009 at 09:00

It will come in a tube.

Gilbert Coquard · 9 Jun 2009 at 09:52

Better get myself prepared for it then. just hope i don't mess it up lol.

cheers mate.

According to the website, it can cope with up to 130W so supports the tri & dual core
