At idle or for light CPU load the fan is nice and quiet and the cooling capacity also extends barely.
But ... now comes the big "but". In CPU-heavy programs or even especially in several games, fast the CPU temperature in the air and the processor regulates itself down to lower the temperature. That is, in games I have so around 100 FPS (frames per second) is constant and when the CPU is too hot it regulates down and had then for 5-8 Seconds Gone 10-15 FPS ... then they go back up as long as the CPU is cool enough. And it repeats itself often depending on the load.
By Standart Cooler AMD my CPU stays cool enough.
Fast and simple installation with AM3 + socket. Even without the expansion of the mainboard ... at least for me.
