KenB Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Hi, will i need a am3+ frendly cooler or will a am3 cooler fit this sockett From what I can discover... AM3 coolers are compatible with AM3+ CPUs. I also found this that you may be interested in: http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/amx-coolers Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

minos55 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 looking at the list on the link you gave there is only 1 cooler that mentions am3+ sockett and its the cheepest and last on the list but it also includes all the same sockettlists as all the rest as well as am3+ so i think its safe to be able to use any am3 cooler on am3+ sockett just need to work out how much now to spend ££££ and witch type fan or liquid cooling Quote
KenB Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Your m/board is AM3+ you are fitting your existing AM3 CPU to it - this is fine - they are compatible. The concensus suggests that your AM3 Cooler will also be compatible. fan or liquid cooling Fan Cheaper Easier to fit Can be noisy Liquid Quiet More Efficient More Expensive More involved in fitting Can leak Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!
