Hey guys i was just wondering what is the best way to go towards cooling my Fx 8320 to try and overclock it some more. Right now it is at 4.0 ghz. i don't know whether to go towards air or water. The only problem i have with air is that it makes my room extremely hot, right now with my hyper 212 my temps are fine but my get horribly hot. This is why i was thinking going water but i don't know i want you opinions. What is the best product to buy in either water or air?


KEEP IT AROUND $100-120

The NZXT kraken x61 is a 280mm x 140mm x 27mm rad which has 2x140mm fans
The corsair H110 is a 280mm x 140mm x 29mm rad which has 2x140mm fans
The Nzxt Kraken x60 is a 280mm x 140mm x 27mm rad which has 2x140mm fans
All of these will fit in your case and performance wise there is not a lot between these coolers
there are a ton of videos out there on these coolers just do a youtube search
the rest of the coolers are 140mm and will mount in the rear of your case

do some research on youtube and select the cooler you are most happy with :)

ok after looking at your case specs ;
1. air cooling , cpu heatsink max height for your case 183mm
2 water cooling. rear 140mm rad , rads up to 360mm 3X120fan or 2x140mm fan

if you could stretch your budget by $19 i would get this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835146042&cm_re=nzxt_kraken_140-_-35-146-042-_-Product
this is an excellent cooler i personally have one and can highly recommend it

within your budget

all of these will perform better than the 212 evo

as for air , water may be the way to go for you as any air heatsink will still push hot air into your room , so you may be spending more money to keep your cpu cooler than the evo and still have hot room
Just check socket compatabillity with these coolers
