Before you read all AM3 CPU cooler review article, I want to remind you, AM3 CPU cooler means this cooler use socket AM3, so you can choice it by following the label socket AM3 CPU cooler named, don't wrong to choice, there is a lot of AMD Cooler in the market, there is also available CPU cooler that supported AM3 only and not AM2 version, but luckily, almost all new AMD Cooler supported all AMD CPU socket such as for AM3, AM2, AM2+, and others AMD socket variant, and yes today usually all CPU coolers also supported both of Intel and AMD.

AM3 CPU cooler Performance is not everything

when we read an article review about the cpu cooler, we'll see the CPU cooler performance / ability, if we look at an cpu cooler which has the best performance, we are usually directly interested to buy it, but make no mistake, for daily computing, we do not need a best performace cpu cooler for our processor, see it? best performance point is not everything.
