Would this cooler work good with my cpu?

Skrillex24 · Sep 14, 2013

I want to know if the zalman cnps8900 extreme will work good with my athlon 64 x2 5600+. With the stock cooler it overheats way to much.

If you have the room for it, yes. It was (and still is) a good cooler design. Be sure you have planty of air flow through your case, however. At least an un blocked front fan and a rear fan.

would this fan or the noctua nh-l12 be better?

I don't think that model cooler has an easily changable fan. It is an odd 110mm and sits down inside the cooler. The replacement would have to fit equally as well and have similar RPM/CFM ratings as well as a 4 wire PWM cable and connector. I would try it as is before worrying about changing the fan. Here is a review by one of the best if you're interested: http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2657

"would this fan or the noctua nh-l12 be better? "

Oh, sorry. I should have seen the name was for the Noctua cooler and not a Noctua fan. Yes the Noctua would be a better cooler, but TBH either one is more than necessary for that processor if you don't overclock it and have good air flow in the case. The Noctua is a very good cooler, probably a step above the Zalman. But check out the instructions before you buy to be sure there are no surprises for your application: http://noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=46&lng=en
