Need advice on a good cpu fan

TechGuyAlabama · Apr 22, 2013

My work is getting me a cpu fan since mine is dead. Anyhow, they have an account on Amazon and they want me to get it from there.

Anyhow, I have this motherboard:

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

I am using the AMD Pheonom II 1100 on it as well.

I need a real good fan for it. Can anyone suggest one that I can get from Amazon?

Thanks for the help as usual.

Do you overclock?. Hyper 212 EVO is a good inexpensive choice.

dish_moose :

agreed, its one of the best. eventhough it is a cheap solution, unless you are thinking about watercooling... I mean if you arent thinking to buy a watercooler you dont need to go for a more expensive cooler, it will provide enough cooling as aircooler

I currently have a water cooled one but it died in less than 2 years. Is that typical?

Should I go back to a water cooled one?

Yes, I intend on overclocking. Does that mean a different fan then?

to be honest, if you are not going to overclock at crazy frequencies no need for a watercooler.
I've seen people having stable overclocks around 4.2G's with Hyper212Evo. I am also using that one and its a serious piece of art

basicaly, your overclock target will be the deciding point of view. Lets say, up to 4.0GHz stick to air cooler (more like hyper212evo, or any other cooler with decent mounting kit, more than 80cfm air pressure and controllable fan rpm with 800rpm bottom to 2000rpm peak levels)
