Justas Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hello all.I was wondering what heat sink would go well with a 6400+ AM2 CPU on a Asus Crosshair motherboard. Price range would hopefully be around 50, if not lower. Any suggestions are appreciated. Active air cooling only please.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Any thing from NCIX top 10 coolers will do fine, list here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justas Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Cool thanks. I was just worried about some of the heat sinks that are low, or may hit some of the heat pipes on the motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 There are extreme big coolers but all with fit if it’s made for AM2. Personally I like the AC coolers like the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64.--- EDIT ---By the way, I see that the cool ribs are about 40-45mm high, the socket with the CPU will be 8mm or so, so you need 38-42mm play under the cooler...So I take back what I said in my first post here...This is an example taken from Scythe that should fit:Justas, could you give us the height of those cooling ribs please?

Justas Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hmmm, don't have exact specs. And I don't have the part with me. First time using this board as well so I am not too sure what will work with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
