hi,
i am planning to buy a new HSF this weekend. Please suggest the best cooler among the listed. I need it for only mild overclocking. (upto 3.2 to 3.4).

-Xigmatek hdt sd964
-coolermaster hyper tx3
-coolermaster gemini II S

any other suggestion are welcome.

P.S: i don't want coolers with more than 145mm in height as my case is small. It can only accommodate coolers with a height of less than 145mm.

Ohh...yeah, I forget that, my 955 is AM3 :) . But maybe for a future upgrade.

My AM3 chips (710 & 965) have both used AM2 designated HSFs, on an AM2+/AM3 motherboard (DDR2, AM3 exclusive motherboards are DDR3). As far as I knew, when it comes to HSF, AM2 covers the formfactor up to AM3, including am2+.

^Yeah I know that, but the problem here is that the 940 is socket AM2+, that means that the mobo is socket AM2+ too, so, for a future upgrade to an AM3 mobo, he will need buy a mounting kit.
