Your current temperatures for your processor at it's speed are excellent. Unless you really want it to try and overclock more then you already are I would say it's not worth it.

they havea new sale for it for 19.99 I had a SK6+ with a 80mm fan on it switching to the 900A I went from like 53C full load to like 32C somtimes lower if the room isn't hot like it has been btw this is diode temp.

 

[PrinceXizor]

Yeah....just got home, found my e-mail. Anyone know if these fit on an 8RDA+ board?

I checked the thermalright site and it lists 8rda+ as compatible. Better be, I bought one too for mine.

I am running one on an 8rda+ and it fits with PLENTY of room to spare.... I love that heatsink. I run with a Sunon high output 50 cfm fan and I run well below 40 unless I am gaming or running seti@home

Thanks! I ordered mine! Might order another one, just to have another (though need to be somewhat careful with new sockets and stuff for AMD).

Maybe 1 or 2 degrees. Take the opportunity to use a slower/quieter fan

 

[FFactory0x]

should i get or no?

Running an SLK900a on my XP2400+ @ 2.33ghz, nice temps with a zalman ZF2 fan @ 5.5v. Works great on my 8rda+.

Great heatsink, definatly worth it.

if running cooler makes you happy ok. do you need the 20 dollars? its not going to make your computer run faster because its cooler.

Running cooler is not the only issue. A 92mm fan that pushes the same CFM as an 80mm fan only at a lower RPM and thus less noise could also be an issue.

Do I need an SLK-900(a) for my current overclock...maybe...Would I use one in the futer upgrades for this rig? Definitely. If you don't already have a quality heat sink (I own a crappy Volcano 5), then its worth getting at $20 imo.

what fan is everyone using? I cant pick a 92mm fan, and I'd like to order this tonight to for my other computer.
