Do I need a CPU aftermarket cooler for this?

mikezomfg · Dec 26, 2014

Hi.
I am getting a AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core (http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=pd_bxgy_computers_text_y) and I live in a very warm climate (http://www.cyprus-weather.com/cyprus-average-temperatures.html) so i'm wondering if I need a aftermarket CPU cooler. I am also getting a Fractal Design Define R4 case, so i'll have the fans that come with them. Do I need a CPU aftermarket cooler?
Thanks in advance.

The 6300 cooler is in short 'crap' mate & noisy
You don't need to spend much ,this cheap zalman does the job

What about this?

Its OK mate - only mounts up/down though on amd sockets.
The zalman is THE best 90mm cheapish cooler around IMO.

I got a bit more flexible on the price and i'd like to have options. WIll it be compatible with my computer?

Yes mate - its the best price/performance cooler around.
Its a little overkill for a 6300 but will give you near silent computing with the r4 case (good choice BTW - its one if the best cases around IMO).
The 212 does require a bit more time fitting bit it is worth it.

Thanks, I think i'll go with that one. Should I run into any problems of it being overkill?

madmatt30 · Dec 26, 2014

^ no mate - my 'overkill' comment just means its a better cooler than you actually need for a 6300 - it'll probably never hit above 50% fan speed which is good to be honest - you won't even hear it at those speeds in the R4 case.
