    Coolermaster Hyper 212+ not performing

    I am thinking that speccy and open hardware monitor are the accurate temperatures. When unlocking the cpu to hexacore it is reported that you lose the ability to see CPU temperatures and both these programs no longer report a cpu temperature. Speed fan and the Asrock program continue to report...

    Budget Socket 939 CPU heatsink fan

    So they attach to the plastic square around the socket as opposed to the socket itself?

    Budget Socket 939 CPU heatsink fan

    Ok i will go with the freezer 64 pro. It will just clip directly to the CPU socket itself? I dont see any tabs on the CPU socket on that mobo.
