whats the best quiet cpu cooler for about £50

NZXT Aidan · Apr 14, 2014

I was wondering what would be the best cpu cooler to buy for my amd fx 6350 as it has an extremely load stock cpu cooler and I really would like a much quieter one.

I was thinking about getting a corsair h80i but I wasn't to sure if it was the best choice

It's a decent choice.

Do you have any recommendations for other cpu coolers

Here's a link to my pc build

You are sacrificing a lot of gaming performance in that build for expensive hardware.

For the amount of money your build would be, plus the cooler price you were willing to spend, you could get this and enjoy far better performance.

I have already built the pc

logainofhades · Apr 14, 2014

Oh, sorry about that. I thought you were still in the process of selecting parts for your build. The H100i is a good cooler as well, if you are wanting to stick with an all in one cooler. Though, a coolermaster Hyper 212 should be good enough for your CPU.

I was think I'll go with the cooler master hyper evo 212 then but a few people have told me it might not fit because of my ram( ram link - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cmz8gx3m2a1600c80 )
but I am not sure if this is true or not

logainofhades · Apr 15, 2014

Yea, the 212 will not work with that ram.

So do you think I should go with the corsair h80i or the corsair h100i
