Default 720be vs 955be stock cooler
hi all, i am currently using the stock cooler on my 720be. my dad has got a 955be with 3rd party cooler. therefore the 955be stock cooler hasnt been used and he asked me if i want it. my cpu idles about 48c at the mo because i have a really hot room. im just wondering if its worth me swapping the coolers over and would i see a difference at all (the 955 has copper pipes on or something).

heres pics of the two heatsinks
720be


955be


thanks for any help

The 955BE cooler is massively better than the 720BE stock cooler. Free? Take it.

Just by looking at the 2 I would say Yes you should see a decrease in temps with the 955 cooler.

Yes take the 955, the 955 with heat pipes look a lot better and probably will do a lot better.

The 955BE cooler will own the 720BE's heatsink and it's off centered stickerness
