hi guys as you guys have probably seen in my other threads i am cautious of my temps after i ran occt i saw my temps were quite high:
40 idle
60 at load
25ish ambient

so i decided to get the arctic cooling freezer 64 pro because it was a great price and other people had recommended it to me i had also heard that it was a fiddly job but that was an extreme understatement the clip thing is weird i had to unscrew the psu and slide it out of the way which wouldn't be a problem for most people because i have a small case heres the results:
40 idle
43-47max load
ambient 28ish

If you want even lower temps mod a FM92 on it with a fan controller.

And maybe trying this to cool it down even more.

is it just me or does the cpu look like its on an angle and also i know how to make it cooler wait till my bday and get da ANTEC 1200

Shift.

An Antec 900 should have more than enough room for your needs..

Unless you want a full tower.

yea i know ut i plan to upgrade to a better system and keep the case so antec 1200 with have lots of room for future builds and the person that buying it for me said that they wanted to get me the 1200 mre future proof

Back when I was on AMD I put a Freezer 64 on my X2-3800. This was the first heatsink I ever lapped and it was a huge success. Dropped temps about 8C from what I remember. I also added a fan on the back of the heatsink for a push-pull config and that gained me a few degrees as well. I used some long wood screws through the pull fan on all 4 corners and they wedged nicely between the fins on the freezer 64. Held it nice and firm. That was a great budget heatsink.

sounds like a good idea but what size fan did you use?

Dadi_oh

I "think" it was a 92mm Antec. Is the original fan on the Freezer a 92mm? If so that was it for sure.

I'm glad to hear good results out of that cooler I just bought one blind becouse it was a good price. So it should work ok on a AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Black Edition Processor? And if so I will add the extra fan I have a 80mm laying around. I should be able to make it work.

yea its a good cpu cooler just a bit fidly to put on i used the thermal paste that comes on it so it your use the stuff that comes on it just keep the plastic cap on it and then make sure its going to fit then romove the plastic cap and put it on
