Case: Source 210
Mobo: FM2-A75MA-E35
CPU: Athlon X4 760k (100w)
Budget: Nothing over $100.
I'm looking into investing into a new CPU cooler. I currently have the 212+ but it's just so bulky. It just barely fits in my case, it actually touches the side panel when I close it. I want to get a smaller cooler to make room and have better air flow. I was looking into the Noctua NH-L9A but I read in one of the reviews that it doesn't work too good on a 100w CPU. I'm not sure if he was overclocking or not. I do not plan on overclocking. I would prefer air cooling as I have seen horror stories about water cooling and I just don't wan to risk it. Thanks!
