What is the best HSF for an FX-57?

[LabShark]

Zalman 7000 series or Coolermaster or?

[Dudes__Geof_]

One of the Zalman 7000 series would probably be good, I haven't ever dealt with any Zalman products, but that should do really good for you

[Riptide]

7000 series is a good HSF. The 7700cu would be preferred if it can fit. If not the 7000cu is still a great performer.

I have had both the 7000b cu and the thermalright xp 120. the thermalright works considerably better if you're into overclocking.

[keith33]

Thermalright XP-120!!! Nothing else touches it.

[LBJM]

xp-120

[rohit]

xp 120 for sure.
but zalman is a great cheeper alternative. especially 7700cu.

Anyone have any feedback (personal experiences maybe?) for the Freezer64 (http://www.arctic-cooling.com/cpu2.php?idx=10&disc=)?

[Blacklash]

XP 120 and panaflo fan. If won't fit on your Mobo try the smaller XP 90.

For my FX57 that is soon to be here, I got Phase Change cooling for it..... On the other note, I have an XP120 on my FX55, and it kicks ass.....

[ViN86]

thermalright for life...

get an xp-120, it wont steer you wrong. i love my xp-90. id get a panasonic panaflo fan for it too (if they come in 120mm, cant remember). theyre quiet cool very well.

[Riptide]

Panaflo does come in 120mm models. There are two actually, one that is a bit quieter and pushes less air and another that runs louder but pushes over 100CFM I believe.

Using the 7700-Cu for my ClawHammer 4000+ which tends to run so hot & its doing pretty good job. so i would recommend it for the FX-57 if theres enough space on your mobo.

XP 120 and panaflo fan. If won't fit on your Mobo try the smaller XP 90.

his board is just like mine except with a heatpipe cooler on the motherboard. the xp-120 fits just fine see:
