Good Heatsink

[Fhistleb]

Whats a good heatsink for my Phenom II 1090T. I just want one that looks better and is a wee bit more efficient than the stock cooler. I'm willing to spend 80 at the most.

Only get a heatsink if you're going to overclock. Otherwise, it's just wasted money really...

Something simple like the Hyper 212+ is more than enough for mild overclocks.

I use an aftermarket HSF and I stay at stock. I'd rather have lower temps and feel safe. They're only $35~ anyway.

Get the Hyper 212+ it's like $25 and then what.. $7 for some AS5?

Shame your 920 isn't OC'ed . Made for it! A beast heatsink too!

@ stock speeds though, the temps SHOULDN'T make you feel unsafe. But lower is better, so personal preference, I guess. Hyper 212+ would be the sweet spot here.

I agree on the Hyper 212+. If you don't want to remount the mobo, a Hyper TX3 or Freezer 7 Pro would work nearly as well.
