Hello everyone I am enjoying my brand new AMD FX 6350 AM3+ which is a very good CPU and I feel comfortable with its performance. The thing is that it does A LOT of noise when gaming, although the cooling job it's fair well done.

So I'm looking for a brand new CPU Cooler which can help me with this, the less noise it makes, the better; so I'm not planning on doing overclocking and such so that is not a priority.

These are the options that I have available to buy on my country, so yes, it should be between these:

CPU Air-Cooling:

a) Cooler Master Hyper N520
b) Cooler Xigmatek Prime HDT- 2 Fans 140mm
c) Thermaltake NIC C5
d) Cooler Master TPC 812
e) Xigmatek Dark Knight HDT - Fan LED
f) Cooler Zalman Cnps12x - 3 FANS LED

CPU Water-Cooling:

a) ANTEC KUHLER H2O 950
b) THERMALTAKE WATER 3.0 PRO

So basically I'm up to any of the options regardless if it is air cooling or water cooling. Please I want to also let you guys know that I have a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P motherboard with HyperX Fury Blue memories 4 modules 4GB each. I give this information because I want to know if there is going to be any issues when trying to install the new cooler with the memories height :(. I really don't want to remove any modules to make it fit in.

Well, dinner is served, hope you guys can help me decide about this :D
I really appreciate this help beforehand

Salutes!
 
None of your suggested solutions make it even near the top of my list.

For liquid cooling, I'd recommend you stay far away from both those "solutions", since I've never heard much good from either.

I am surprised the Cooler Master EVO 212 Hyper is not available where you live. It's cheap and everyone that talks about is seems to like it. Failing tat, anything by Noctua is bound to be good.

Here is a list of coolers and their noise levels.

Yes I know, I mean I would love to buy the EVO 212 Hyper but it's not available here... I've just added a new cooler to the list just in case that I just found the Zalman CNPS12X. I dont know what you think about that one haha.
Thanks for the list by the way, checking that out right now.
