Hello everyone,
I'm looking for advice on a new cooler for the AMD FX 8350 processor. The idle temp is currently 30 degrees, but it shoots up to around 78 when gaming. The stock fan is also horribly loud.
I was looking at some block fans, but unfortunately it seems the back of my case isn't designed to accommodate fitting them without removing the motherboard (which I'm not really looking to do if I can avoid it).
So, can anyone recommend any flat fans (or fans that don't require screwing in from the back of the motherboard) that would do a good job?
Please note I'm not really looking for liquid cooling in any capacity.
For reference, I have a Bitfenix Neos case and an MSI Gaming 970 mb. I believe my cpu clearance is 150mm.
