Well the title says it all. I was also looking at the Corsair H50 which is a bit more expensive and probably the better cooler. Im probably not going to overclock it. Thanks in advance. :D
 
Since you're not planning on overclocking, even the stock heatsink is more than enough. The Freezer won't have any issues.
 
^^I'd actually get the Hyper 212plus and lap it. I got the Hyper TX3 and lapped it and got amazing temps. Take a look at this thread.
 
The Hyper 212 Plus dropped my full load temp a full 20C and yet left enough wiggle room to let me boost my voltage and give me another 100 mhz on the overclock. My Orthos blend full load temps are around 60C to 61C but it would be easily in the 50's if I installed the second fan. It's silent compared to that crappy stock HSF, too... the fan spins at only like 1600 rpm but it is HUGE. Actually holding the 212 in my hands was a bit of a shocker for it was so ginormous I feared I would not be able to fit it into my case. The only negative part about it all was the installation because backplates really suck but if you saw this thing, it needs it.
 
Yes. The Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 Supports up to 130w CPUs, and the 1090T is a 125w. It'll be quieter than stock, but may not be better performance. There are better, obviously, and I will shamelessly plug Corsair's H50 (love it, keeps my 1090T OCed 3.7GHz full load stock voltage 38c) but that cooler will satisfy the minimum needed for that processor.
 
Ditto on the Hyper 212. I dropped 15C at idle and 20ish at load on my Phenom II 945. Whisper quiet also.
 
If you already had a freezer I would say try it but if you are going to be buying one there is no reason not to get the Hyper 212.

FWIW the 9550 in my sig is a much cooler chip than that 1090T will be when you start clocking it and I still see low 60's under load with my freezer 7. I think on your chip you would move out of temp spec pretty quickly with anything less than the Hyper.
 
Hyper 212+ is night and day better than the Freezer, I've tried both back to back on my brother's x3 740...in fact I can't even imagine the Freezer is much better at all than the factory phenom x6 heat pipe hsf.
 
I use an ArticCooling Freezer Pro rev 2 on my sons OC'd core i5 950 (3.85 GHz) and it works very nicely.

It's not totally silent unless you use the MB fan controls and I run it at 100% fan due to the OC, but it works very well, probably a good bit better than stock.

But if you don't OC and the stock cooler is quiet, I would just keep the money in your pocket.:D
 
My brother bought the Hyper 212+ for his 1090T and it runs cool at 4Ghz.
 
It includes hardware in the box to support push/pull.

If you have the room in your case, you could do pick up some yate loon 38mm thick fans for $7 a piece and the high static pressure will ensure you're getting good airflow with low noise

Any of the Scythe Ultra Kaze would be a good choice as well but I personally think the particular Yate I linked to is an ideal balance of price, pressure, and noise.

Alternatively you could use Scythe Gentle Typhoons if you want 25mm.

The only potential drawback to push pull is reduced airflow over the VRM's but if your board has a heatpipe mosfet cooler connected to the NB its a non issue.
 
Thanks

Edit: I believe I may have one of those laying around the house some where just have to find it. :)
 
I just installed a new 1090t and popped my freezer64 on it (same heatsink with slightly different mounting as the fr. 7) Works great, idles around 34 and tops out with Prime95 on all 6 cores at around 49 - 54 depending on room temperature, and that's under half the max fan rpm , so still fairly quiet . If you're gonna be buying a new heatsink anyways, I'd shoot for a noctua D14 (high end) or a Hyper212 (budget)

Right now I'm running F@h SMP, room is 74f, RPM is 964, and cpu/core temp is stable under load at 49/44C.
