I wish to replace the stock cooler on my Phenom II X2 550 BE. The two choices I narrowed it down to are the Xigmatek Gaia SD1283 or the Cooler Master Hyper 212+. I read both articles http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-cooler-heatsink-roundup,2788.html for the Gaia and http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/lga-1156-heatsink,2535.html for the 212+. But i would like to hear some of your opinions or experiences before i make a final chioce.
I will use it on an AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition @3.1 Ghz (stock) unlocked to triple-core on a Asus M4A785-M mobo(i aasume there should be no clearence issuses on this mobo with either coolers)
