Hello, I'm looking at buying a cooler for my FX-8150 but dont know where to start was thinking the H60. Would anyone else recommend anything? Budget around £50.

or you could go with a hyper evo 212 or arctic freezer 13

Thanks for the quick reply. Can't go over £50 however. Would you say I would be better of with the arctic freezer 13 over the H60?

if im correct i think the arctic 13 covers the first dimm slot same as the hyper 212 i would go for the h60 and stick another 120mm fan on the other side for push pull config

if you have 2 x 4gb sticks then stick them in the outer dimms then should be ok what ram do u have?

Thanks for the help mate. How easy is it to install the H60 on a am3+ socket? Can only find videos for Intel.
