Invizibleyez Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I am new to AMD and I don't know alot about their sockets. Will an AM2 cooler work on AM3+ cpu? Will an AM2+ cooler work on AM3+? Will an AM3 cooler work on AM3+? My old CPU cooler was a Thermaltake Blue Orb II which can supposedly work on AM2. Any suggestions on a new cooler? Is the Coolermaster hyper 212 evo really good?

Detection Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I've got the Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme fitted to my AM3+ Socket board CPU running at 4GHz, idle temp 36c max load temp 53c Cooler was only about ?35, can't complain at all except it is slightly low to the RAM, but unless you have huge heat spreaders on the RAM you`ll be fine, It just fits over G-Skill RipJawsX with a little loosening of the fan 2mm or so Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1066020-need-a-good-am3-cpu-cooler/#findComment-594753804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
