I came from an AMD FX 6200 that also used the stock cooler.
I just bought the AMD FX 8350 and wanted to make sure the stock cooler would be okay for it.
On my 6200... I gamed A LOT and I do a ton of video editing using After Effects. PC has never crashed or gone into standby or anything like that to protect the core from overheating.
My question is- would I get the same results from the 8350's stock cooler? Would I be able to game or edit videos without that fear of my CPU over heating? I won't run benchmarks or overclock. Do you guys think I will be okay?
If you don't think the stock cooler is as good or not as effective as my 6200 was... what one would you recommend? I am on a TIGHT budget. Nothing over $35 please as I spent most of my money on the new processor. It also needs to be easy to install because I am stupid when it comes to working with the insides of a computer.
Don't know if this is even relevant let alone will help... but I will list my motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
-Noise is not an issue. I'm used to my computer sounding like a "lead blower" so I don't mind loud noises.
-Heard of liquid cooling, but don't know if that will work as well for me as a heatsink would. Don't know much about them but would give them a try if it's the better option for keeping my CPU cool.
