New cpu heatsink/fan for phenom II 940

[johns0]

I decided to look for a new heatsink for my cpu since it started to get to 61c while encoding,after viewing heatsinks at newegg.ca i decided i might get this one.

Anyone with a similar setup find that its worth replacing,most reviewers at newegg are newbs and gamers,just need to know if it will keep the cpu cooler while encoding at full load.

Plus make sure you read up on how to apply your compound if the heat pipes ar actually part of the base (ie, there are little slot long gaps)

that one you list is the same as the second one i listed, but with a black fan instead of red. one of the ones you thought ws too big.

it stands up 159mm off the cpu.

Its the same as the second but with free shipping(just realized its the same ) and even tho the first is the same height its much cheaper than the first one,i checked and it fits my case.

I have a Phenom II 940 w/ a CoolerMaster V8, I get 61c* during encoding w/ 1.5 cpuv on a 90F*+ day w/ added NBv

What is your present hsf/cpuv/NBv/multiplier/bus clock?

That's one hot day.

Its all stock settings,the mobo isnt very good at oc cause i bumped it to 3.4 gb(17x200) and it reset while doing an encode after a couple minutes,doesnt reset on stock settings,was a very hot day when it got to 61c tho.Cpuv is at 1.328.

LOL 90F*

To johnsO: Yeah, sounds like you need a hsf bad, that Xigmatek will probably get you within a couple degrees of the best hsfs

Just installed the HDT-S1283 and encoding on a hot day and its at 46C.
