So, i have Amd Athlon II x4 750k and it runs on it's stock cooler. BUT! I think i could/would want to overclock it. And I'm afraid to do it with the stock cooler. So I gathered up allot of coolers that stick to the motherboard, FM2 socket you know. My motherboard is ASRock FM2 A75 Pro 4-M. I'm looking for a cheap but good. If you have the time, help me, i have no idea what to take, i have also no experience in overclocking and that kind of stuff. And how are those attached to the cpu/motherboard?? They are like this shape \_/ Thank you!! :)

Hi,

If you're on a really tight budget then a Cooler master Hyper 212 evo is really good for the price, if you have abit more money then consider something like the prolimatech megahalems or the thermalright silver arrow. Those are just a few quick suggestions, check out some reviews aswell.

If you're not sure on how to install a cooler have a look on youtube.com, I'm sure someone will have a video explaining it.

I agree, the CM Hyper 212 is a really good budget cooler. What is your budget?

10-50 € But my cpu isn't good enough to run bf4 now when it's stock. But if i overclock it, could it run it? :(
 
Either of the Scythe solutions (the first and the third-from-the-last you listed) are going to give you the best bang for their buck, from what you listed.

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is often recommended on this site/forum, because in America its price-performance ratio is tough to beat. The EVO currently sells on Newegg for $37, which I think is a touch above 25 Euros. That site lists it for ~35 Euros, which gives it a different price-performance ratio, although its still cheaper. Go for that, if you want, but it may be worth it more to invest in one of the Scythe solutions.
