I currently have an AMD-FX6350. I wanted to buy some new fan heatsink but none of them i found acctualy fit. i only have a 155mm space in my pc and want to do so mild overclock maybe to 4.3-4.7ghz. is the H60 a good buy? I am also on a tight budget so...

I bought and used the H60 (2.0), it is a very good cooler, but, it's a more logical choice given its price range to either spend a tiny bit more or go for air cooling.
For example, the H80i is an all-round more capable cooler and it will only set you back an extra 5-10£. Since I now have that in my system I can certainly recommend it.

To recap, the H60 servers its purposes well, looks good, cools on par with some of the mid-range air coolers and allows for much more flexibility in regard to sound levels. (Ala, the AIO vs Air argument), but in its given price range it just seems more logical to go for the H80i. In my opinion anyway.

As far as air cooling goes there's no denying these AIO liquid coolers sit in the same price range as the top-end air heatsinks. It's up to you to decide what works best for you.

you are aware the radiator sticks out farther on the top and bottom in regards to actual fan size..??

if you buy that H60............. use a push pull configuration and suck the air OUT of the case don't suck in from outside. the H60 ( lines and radiator ) absorbs a lot of heat and you don't want it blowing back into the case.

I can also vouch for the pull over push method xD After pulling clumps of cat fur out of the rad.

So the H60 is a good cooler. the H80 is a more wiser choice?
