    CPU Cooler Phenom II

    Not sure if its going to be a 955, 720 or 550 but am after a good cooler for these. Or is the stock cooler ok ? Have heard that the 955 runs hot but the 550 runs pretty good with the stock cooler .

    I get 35/31/38 currently on an idling 720, at load it gets to 40 or 50-(haven't seen that, but summer's on the way, so I assume ) something, so manageable. Don't have big issues with noise, either, idling it's quiet.

    Some of the boxed coolers have heatpipes and some don't. I changed from the Stock cooler for the 720 as I found it noisy, So I only used it for a week. but, it was something like 34 idle and 45-50 full load.

    The 720 boxed cooler looks like this.

    Its just to big and getting it in the case was a pain
