phenom II x4 stock heatsink vs Cooler Master hyper TX-3 which will yield a better output as i have a hyper tx3 from my old rig m planing to buy a amd phenom II x4 955 be which of these will perform better both while at stock and overclocked ??? i will buys a 4+1 phase cooler like a Hyper 212+ later :grin:

So what are you thinking for? Buy the CPU, test it with both stock cooler and the TX3. Use whatever will give better thermals. In any case, Hyper 212+ will beat both of them.

And if you are not in a mood to test, TX3 should be better than the stock cooler. And use a good thermal paste like MX4 for better results.

TX3 will definitely be better than stock cooler. and best way to test it is to try it yourself.

i know 212+ beats them both but till the time i bring it i don't want my 955 to fry in the pan so i had a choice of stock and tx3 anyways thanx for the advise that was helpful to me :mrgreen:

The stock cooler comes with 955 though not great but is enough for a 955 if you don't OC but as you have a TX3 you should use that - it's offers better performance than stock HSF anyway ;-)

+1 for tx3

According to me i don't have too much idea about this but I think the stock was quite a good choice in the stock market,we have a chance to gain money. in the after market there not much of space to get a money so much.
