What are some good Air/Water coolers for my pc?

DarkDubzs · Aug 21, 2013

I need an aftermarket cooler for my AMD A10-6800k cpu that is quiet and will get the job done (heat out). My PC specs are down in my signature. My case can fit a 160mm cpu cooler. Nothing over $80. in reality, ill probably be spending $50 max on an air cooler and a bit more on a water cooling system hopefully. Any recommendations? Remember, quiet, cheap, and quality. Thanks!

P.S. ive been thinking about the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, just fyi.

The Hyper is the best bang for the buck, have used these on don't know how many high end systems! Great cooler!

Thanks. How loud would you say it is? On Newegg it says is 9 - 36dBA, but i dont know how loud that would translate to. Click here for link to it

I've got one on both my 2500K and my 3570K and had one on my 4770K, with the case open can hear them at start up and when they ramp up under load, not real load, with the cases closed don't hear but a slight hum when they ramp up under load

Alright. I dont know what it is, but lately under load when gaming Far Cry 3 on ultra my rig gets really loud. I only have one stock case fan which came already attached when i bought it. I dont know if its that or the stock cpu cooler or its probably my GTX 660 SC gpu. I can also feel my case gets pretty warm.

Sounds like the stock CPU cooler, but could be a combo, CPU is prob getting very hot, would get at least one more case fan

Tradesman1 :

Yeah, probably. Im also planning on getting a 120mm PWM case fan, but thats a simple small thing to do. And the BIOS showed my cpu is 60 degrees Celsius idle. Is that really hot for idle? I imagine so

Tradesman1 · Aug 21, 2013

Yes, I like them in the 30s or even lower, but need good air flow, at least 1 fan pulling air in from the front then an exhaust fan in the back behind the CPU pushing hot air out

A couple of questions here. Would i really see a boost in performance if i get the CM Hyper 212 Evo cooler and a case fan or two or should i just get a couple of case fans? I guess im asking if the cooler is really worth the $40.

Also, my case says it supports two case fans on the front, but the front is closed and covered with the front panel like every case has, so how would air come in? and how would i install fans to the front?
