I'm thinking about a new CPU cooler, but I don't exactly know which one I should get. I have a AMD FX-8320 paired with the Seidon 120V currently, but I dont think its that effeciant and I need space for more fans (my ITE IT 8728F temp 3 is getting over 60c (Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 rev 6)

---So should I keep my Seidon 120V or
Cooler Master
Newegg

---Get a Hyper 212 EVO
Cooler Master
Newegg

---Get a Hyper 212x
Cooler Master

Keep the seidon. It's a water cooler and it generally should be slightly more efficient than the 212x. Though it is not as efficient as a noctua nd 15... The God air coolers will always beat the cheaper 120mm rads. Unless you got money to for out for a 90$ air cooler or 110$ water AIO, or even a custom loop, then don't change. Mpjust amke sure airflow is good. Your temps are marginal. Also keep fans so that they spin full when on 65C, and set a personal fan curve.

unless you want a downgrade, the seidon 120v is still the better option. the dual fan 212x is still only 2C difference compared to the hyper 212 evo. as of the 212 evo, it might be only some degrees warmer than the 120mm rad. overall performance is similar and would not get something that performs the exact same. I would get a 240mm rad or a good noctua air cooler instead of getting a mid range air cooler or 120mm rad

What do you recommend for a AM3+ socket, liquid cooling system under $150?
