Hi people.

I'll soon be starting my first build and am currently awaiting some parts however I still haven't chosen the cooler yet. As my title says my CPU is the AMD FX8350 which I believe runs at 4.0Ghz (I doubt I'll be doing any overclocking). I'm a bit cautious about using liquid cooling, possible leaks and all, and was hoping I could find out what the 2nd best method would be.

Thanks in advance guys.

Thank you aevm but from my cases manual, it seems it's cooler height limitation is 138mm. Are heatsinks like that EVO pretty similar when they cool because I'd have to find one within that height limitation.
