Cpu cooler for fx 8300

Benkimon · Aug 9, 2017

Good aftermarket cooler for FX 8300,
Cryorig H7 or Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev.2 and how much watts is needed for it?
And if possible can someone recommend a good cheap case that has a psu mounted at the bottom?
Thanks in advance!

Ps does the cooler fit on asus m5a78l-m lx3?

Its a 95W processor so if you don't intend on overclocking you don't need to spend too much. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106372&ignorebbr=1 This one has a built in AMD clip to simplify installation and a 120mm fan. Performs about like the Wraith cooler than comes with some 125W AMD processors and is quieter.

Gammaxx 300 is another cheap quick easy fit solution like the TT contac above.
Either of those will do a decent job , there's not much between them at all on performance.

Case wise - what country are you in & what do you consider cheap ??

I would recommend Antec GX500 case and Scythe Mugen 4 cooler. It might be a bit tricky to install the cooler but I own it and it keeps my FX-6300 under 55 celsius while ambient temperature is 30. My CPU is overclocked to 4.2 GHz btw.

Im from Croatia. (Its only 38°C )
A cheap case would be something below 40e
If i want to buy a cooler i would need to move my PSU down. Im really scared to put a cooler below a PSU. I dont want it to draw hot air

A tower cooler is fine undernearh a top mount psu.

The PSU fan acts as an extra exhaust .

Benkimon · Aug 9, 2017

so u think there is no need to buy a new case, just a new cooler?
My present case has only 2 spots to put vents, kind off its bothering me
PS do u think Cryorig H7 is compatible with my MBU? I saw some reviews, everyone says that that is one of the best cheap coolers u can buy

madmatt30 · Aug 9, 2017

The cryorig h7 is a very good cooler , it is overkill for a 8300 though & I would not call it 'cheap'

Are there any web shops you can buy from ?? Not familiar with Croatian shops.

The only one I see is centro.hr

Benkimon · Aug 9, 2017

Well there is links, vecom, infokom, hgspot and more. I can order from amazon also.
The only cooler available here is arctic cooler that i already named (its from hgspot).

I guess i wont buy a new case then, just tell me, gammax or arctic or even zalman cnp5x (also from hspot)

Benkimon · Aug 9, 2017

Is that the best cpu cooler out there for that money? i mean that arctic is cheaper.

I found this case, I also saw it in person today. It has 5 vents or i think 4. Two at frond, one at back, and one or 2 at the top.

madmatt30 · Aug 9, 2017

The thermal take contac is a 120mm tower & fan , the arctic is a little 92mm fan cover from 2012 & it was only a $10-15 cooler then.

So yeah the contac is far better mate.

Re - case ?? What case ?? You've not linked anything ;-)

Meh edit didnt work,
Just tell me what do u think about case.
Thank you very much for all the help!

madmatt30 · Aug 9, 2017

The case looks decent , it has plenty of fan mounts.

What it doesn't have however is any actual fans included with it!!

So while its cheap by the time you've added 2 or 3 fans you're about the same price as the zalman z1 or z1 neo.

Benkimon · Aug 9, 2017

Ill calculate the price in store when i get there, but mostly u are right.
Ill just take that Thermaltake and and mby Z1.
Ty very much for the effort. Have a nice day!

If madmatt has helped you, then why don't you consider giving him the solution?

madmatt30 · Aug 9, 2017

I've just been looking at that ms Cyclops 2 case - I knew I'd seen these before , they're branded game max in the UK ,they come with 2 fans over here.
Its a nice case , check to see if it comes with fans (if you're going to an actual physical store) , I don't think it does over there though.

I would say if you can do that case & a couple of decent 120mm fans for the same or less than the z1 then its probably actually a better case - not as good as the z1 neo though.
