FX-55, run cooler than Prescott?

[freddiepm61]

Does the fx-55 run cooler than the lga 775 prescott.....
i.e. would a thermalright xp-120 with a vantec 120mm fan (42cfm) be enough to keep an fx55 under 55C?
thanks

I'm almost certain that a '55 runs cooler than a prescott. jeez, that 120 will keep the fugger really cool

imo that should be enough for fx55, as long as no heavy oc. Retail box comes with heatpiped hsf.

The retail heatsink that came with my fx-55 keeps my chip at about 125F idle.

for a stock heatsink its pretty nice looking.

I agree, it's by far the sexiest stock heatsink

when i saw the stock heatsink first thing i thought of was a aluminum pipe 101
