[QUOTE="sn4k3_64"][QUOTE="swehunt"] Yes, but how did you measure the temp. 50 in prime may be great but 50 running a old game may be horrible. Yes, the AMD stock coolers will get very noisy if you push them hard.

I can recommend the 212+, it's a great cooler that perform just a bit behind the most expensive ones but it's very cheap.

Edit: what motherboard do you use, the 212+ is a tower cooler so it fit most motherboards but it really depends on how close to the heatsink/ram modules you got.

No prob! :)

Yes, the 212+ comes with AM2/AM3 mounting, but the problem as seen on this image is how close it's socket is to your Ram modules.

I'm !almost! positive you can get the cooler installed if you are facing the fan towards the rear. (I/O shields, the back of the case)

The 212+ is a large cooler, what case do you got?

Hi guys, is a load temp of 50 ok for my processor? Also would it be worth investing in a cpu cooler for overclocking, and if so do you think on a matx mobo i would be alright fitting it? Thanks, Sean

half life 2 deathmatch actually isn't bad, but compared to a game like CSS for example, it has nothing on it in my opinon. Still owning people with the gravity gun doesn't get boring :)

To be honest it looks like both will be equally important, its annoying though because having quite recently purchased my gpu i was hoping i could max out most games, but when this is released I doubt i will max this one out smoothly xD

I'm not that upset with my GPU purchase, I got a great deal on it ... I'm upset with my PSU purchase. I had the TX 750 in my hands which would allow me to crossfire my setup and the clerk at the store talked me out of it to save $20.00 ... what a mistake

hl2 deathmatch will still have thousands of servers, so yes to that as well
