Best CPU Cooler for Phenom 9950

[memnoch_thedevil]

On a Biostar M-Atx motherboard (only SB 750 mb I could find) in a Rogue NZXT SFF case that will fit?

Looking to find one that will cool it well, to allow a modest overclock, and of course fit lol...

This is the mobo

the PSU if needed is this one.

Thanks for the help

I currently have a Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro on my 9850 and it is working great.

as long as you arent overclocking the stock heatsink should work.. but if it was me id try to find some one that has an unused phenom II stock heatsink and beg them for it because its the same size as the old phenom II but has 2 full length heat pipes instead of 2 half length heat pipes..

Have you overclocked your 9850? If so what kind of temps @ what speed?

I do plan on overclocking, my main issue is finding a cooler that will keep it cool while overclocked, but it has to fit inside the NXZT Rogue case, which I think has a 130mm clearance. So space is an issue.

This is one that I am looking at. Anyone familiar with it?

there isnt much to cool a 9950.. they run hot as hell stock.. let alone trying to overclock it while keeping it in a 130mm clearance.. besides water cooling theres really not much you can do..

You might get better answers in the sff section. I know that shouldn't be the right section but all sff case users with aftermarket coolers will have opinions over there.
