What HSF Is a Good Purchase

[westihockey09]

I am purchasing an Athlon FX-55 Socket 939 processor. I might be doing slight overclocking. I was curious what would be a good HSF purchase. I was thinkning about the Arctic Freezer 64 Pro - 30 bucks but is there anything better of a purchase in that price range?

Thanks for the help in advance!

How 'bout the freezer 64 pro for $21 shipped?

XP-90, XP-120, those have dropped in price since the introduction of the Ultra-120.

The scythe mine is just about the same thing as the ninja, just $10 less. $35 shipped @ newegg. The infinity may be out of his price range... judging by the freezer 64 he picked out.

FWIW..... I've got an XP-90 on mine with a dab of AS and my temps idle around 28C. Prime will push it to 42C with a mild overclock and I haven't seen anything higher.

I have the Arctic Freezer 64 Pro for my 939 X2 4400+. I'm OC'd to 2.6GHZ and my idle temps are 34C. If you are doing a minor OC, I would highly recommend this HS, and you can't beat the price. Just make sure you seat it correctly. It can be a difficult fit. And use the thermal paste that comes with it.

Got a link to the scythe?

I just bought an fx-55 during the newegg sale along with a scythe infinity. Using ~65 cfm fan, the core idles at 33C and loads at 46C. I got 2.98ghz with a 1.49 vcore. The infinity at newegg is kind of pricey, but you could probably find it for less.
