New Fan+Heatsink for my AMD Phenom x4 965 BE

[rhino89]

Hi there,

I have the Phenom x4 965 BE and the stock cooler is VERY VERY loud! So I am now changing it. The question is to which one?

Here is my system (what matters to this):
-AMD Phenom x4 965
-Asus Mobo M4N78 (AM2+)

I had this one in mind:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Arctic-Cooling-Freezer-Rev-2-Cooler/dp/B002G392ZI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top/276-3429829-5854660

But I have been reading around and I feel that there are better products out there.

Any suggestions?

Regards

That cooler is absolutely fine if quiet is the primary consideration. However if OCing is also important then you will probably want to get something else.

It might also be helpful to know what case you have or how large/small it is, as some cases will be too small to fit a tower cooler.

You could also check this out for good coolers that are also quiet: http://www.silentpcreview.com/Recommended_Heatsinks

This is the site I use to compare HSFs. They do a lot of testing if you get into their articles and reviews of specific models.
