hello my name is Dylan and im building my first PC and i want to get a AMD fx 9370
and a lot of people have told that it gets very hot and needs to be water cooled what water cooling is best for someone who doesn't really know what there doing
thanks
maybe something like this Corsair Hydro H80i Water Cooler Like New Factory Refurbished??
 
Solution
Hi Dylan, Maybe you might want to work on your grammer. A good aircooler can work to such as a Hyper 212 or a Hyper T4 as it doesn't require a backplate on amd CPU's. but the H80I would work too.

Solution
What I'd recommend (& bear in mind I'm fairly pro amd)

Is

1. Steering clear of a fx 9*** series CPU entirely.

2. Buy an 8320 , a gigabyte 970a-ud3p motherboard & a fairly good cooler like the raijintek themis/them is evo.

3. Over clock it yourself to whatever you can manage on stock voltage (4.3ghz is entirely doable on less than 1.38v)

4. Give yourself a pat on the back for saving $100+ & getting virtually identical performance with lower temps & lower power draw.

I have an fx8350 air cooled and it hits 29 when i'm playing bf4 at max setting and rec game play with rivatuner/afterbunner. it idols at 8c- 15c. a big-air setup can work just as well as liquid cooling
