Best cooler for AMD Phenom II X6 1100T

[Nguni]

Currently I am using the stock cooler but problem is that the CPU fan has become more and more noisy. Other than this, I have also noticed that the CPU temperature has also increased and some of the times, it goes upto 60-65C when it is on the heavy load. I don’t think that this is the normal temperature. Now, I wish to get a new cooler for my AMD Phenom II X6 1100T but confused that which one will be the best for me. So I am posting it over here. If someone of you is having any suggestion for this then please let me know that. I will be thankful to all the replies for this.

My suggestion to you is to get the Coolermaster Hyper 212+. This is really a very good option for you as it is cost efficient HSF. Make sure that you go through the reviews of this cooler to have better understanding for this.

Thermaltake Frio CLP0564 is also not a bad option to consider for this. The excellent performance of the fan Thermaltake Frio offers an ideal cooling solution for the most powerful machines. It is compatible with the latest Intel 6-core. It is also having two 120mm fans. You can adjust the speed of one of these fans, in order to obtain optimal performance.

• Supports the latest six-core processors
• Designed for overclocking
• Two fans of high-performance 12 cm
• Adjustable speed: 1200 to 2500 RPM

I am using the Zalman CNPS 9900 NT - 120mm and it is giving me the best performance. I will not recommend you anything other than Zalman CNPS 9900 NT - 120mm. If you search then you will surely get a lot of options and that leads to confusion. So just go for this and I am sure that you will never regret your purchase.

If you want some cheaper model then you can also consider the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. This is enormously powerful CPUs to purchase these days. The Hyper 212 Plus is a visually simple cardboard box. The printing on the packaging has given information on the compatibility and some technical details. The cooler is compatible with the Intel socket 775, 1156, 1366 and the AMD socket 939, AM2 and AM3.

You can just take anyone you like but I will never recommend you the thermaltake frio. I am telling you this because this is having problem of noise and also it does not provide you cooling of that level. So better choice for you is the Hyper 212+, whether you are a overclocker or a non-overclocker. This is the best for getting best performance and it worth for its price.

Are you a regular overclocker? If yes then you will require to make use of the CoolerMaster V6GT otherwise some of the Corsair water cooling Hydro series. This is the only thing that I can recommend to you.

See it’s not like you take any and you are done. It must be compatible with the system that you are using. So before getting any of these, you must ensure the compatibility.
