Hey. So I was hearing that the heatsink for the AMD FX-8320 is not very good. Any Suggestions on what else to get? My motherboard is an asus m5a97 and my case is an Antec P183. Thanks!

The H60 will hold you up for a small overclock maybe to 4.2 GHz if you wanted to, and it would be more than enough for stock. An H50 is also an option if you want to not overclock at all.

It is not, I do know that from personal experience. Go for a 120mm cooler like the H60 or Cooler Master Seidon 120L.

Okay, thanks. I don't really think I'm planning on doing much overclocking, so would I even need an aftermarket cooler?

In that case the CorsairH60 is very nice. I have installed a few and they work great. Just check to make sure you plug the pump into the constant 12v power pin on the MB and the fan on the adjustable. The specifics are in your MB literature. Install it as intake on the back for a cooler airflow over the radiator.
