Message: Subject: Cpu cooler base plate barely covers cpu By: En.Ki (IP: 198.176.208.*) Written on: 11-09-2009 20:12 ok the subject is my question... I have an ARCTIC COOLING FREEZER PRO 64... which some sites say is am2/am2+ compatible. Anyway my question is this... the base plate for this barely covers my cpu... I mean like barely there is a very small area sticking out on either side... so little you can\'t see it with out getting pretty much on top of it... is this an issue? I have monitored my temps for a month and a half now and they idle @32c and load around 40-45c depending on what the room temp is... everything seems to be ok but is it really? BTW it is a PhenomII x3 720BE on a AM2+ board.... thanks

HTH, Ray (Who is struggling with a SL7PP idling at 47C, load 60C & aftermarket cooler, lapped, using top quality paste, with the latest BIOS for the motherboard and everything.)
