Hm actually now that I read it more closely, supposedly that
particular cooler is only for a max TDP of 90W.  The Phenom II X4 is
rated at 95W peak TDP.  Maybe that's in the range of...what, me worry?
 :)

AC makes other AMD coolers rated up to 130W TDP, but they're a fair
amount bigger, maybe too big for an HTPC case.  But your case is a
tower model, so no worries there.  get the AC Freezer 64 Pro PWM
