Block for AM3

[RawZ]

I see loads of reviews for CPU blocks on 775 and i7 and various blocks perform better than others on these different platforms, so i was wondering what would be better for an AMD chip?

Heatkiller mate.

I've seen the i7 review on these:

It was quite a good block, they are releasing the ''AMD Phenom II'' version of it, so that should be interesting.

To be honest though mate, the thing that will let your temps down is the 120mm rad but i know you just havn't space for better.

I am cooling my AMD Phenom 9950 with a Swiftech Apogee GTZ but I have to bought the adapter for it. Sadly, the Intel version of the retention kit for that water block looks much better than the AMD version. Concerning the temps, I have about 35 idle and about 45 at full charge. The CPU is overclocked at 3.0

Price wise as ever the XSPC Delta V3 dude.

I was thinking about the EK Supreme LT or HK 3.0 LT.

The Supreme LT dont do a AM2/3 version, not sure about the HK but all I can find is 775/1366

Yea they both have AM3's bud. I can't link you as i need 15posts or more.

Both the Supreme LT and Heatkiller 3.0 (and LC/LT) can be bought in AM2/3 configurations.
