AM2 cpu cooler for MicroATX system

[hougtimo]

hi,

I have a new motherboard which allows for vcore highering for overclocking my 4200+ better. (currently 2.64GHz), but I am having to use stock cooling as I can't find a different hsf that will physically fit onto my motherboard as there is limited room around the CPU socket. The motherboard in question is an aNit NF-M2 nView motherboard. If anyone knows of a good cooler for these, please could you let me know?

Thanks

I would keep the stock cooling, you will not get much gain with a non stock cooler. It would have been better if you spend the money for an extra cooler on a higher model , but I know it’s too late for that now.

How high is your voltage any way?

What case do you use?

Thanks for the replies guys.

Would I not be able to bring the temps down a bit with a better cooler?

Right now, my vcore is 1.475v cpu running @ 2.64Ghz (440MHz OC - is this good for a 4200+?) And temps are reaching 54-56'c max under prime95 24hr testing.

Are these temps ok? or should I do something about them?

Thanks
