| I purchased this cooler on your recommendation. My standard AMD cooler had a duff fan which was getting noisy after 4 months. I am using an Athlon 64 3500+ with the older Newcastle core, which runs hotter then the newer ones. I am very pleased with this new cooler. At idle i get 40-42C and after some Call of Duty online, it peaked at 50C. My old standard cooler would hit 55-57C, and could idle as high as 50-52C. As I'm using an MSI Neo Platinum 2 main-board, the cooler mounts sideways with no problems. Oddly it seems to cool my graphics card, which idles at 60C as opposed to 72C with the AMD cooler. Not sure why this is the case, as the cooler fan aims forward towards my optical drives. Best of all, i cannot hear this cooler at all. |
