Hate to necro an old thread but the Big Typhoon VX is perfectly compatible with am2+ and am3 motheboards I'm using a VX to cool my FX-8320 on a GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard the VX uses an AMD style retention clip and not a pushpin or screw down type like intel.
BTW my Typhoon is good for letting my CPU reach 4.7 ghz, that's 1.2 ghz above stock not bad for an old cooler.
Big Typhoon supports am2+/am3 socket?
in Air Cooler
