Nice cooler for a phenom II?

[Guest]

hey guys i have an msi g70 am3 with a phenom II 965 and i am currently updating my stock cooler. so i went on newegg and found one which is pretty nice but i cant find much reviews on how far i could OC with it being relatively stable. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have the 125W or the 140W version of the 965?

somewhere around 4ghz. it varies a lot. but from a 965 i would probably expect about 4.2

I'm always tell people that the Prolimatech Megahelems or Mega Shadow is the best air cooler on the market as of today. Dropped my temps 10C from a V8. Now my OC'd i7 920 (3.6Ghz) idles at 28~34C.

I know this reply is a bit late, but others may find their way here after a Google Search as I did.

MaximumPC gave this cooler a 10 of 10 for performance and ease of installation. It blows away many others that are twice the price...

Hypermaster 212+ rocks...best bang for buck, and then some.

Only issue is that it might be too tall for your case.
