Decent CPU Cooler

[c94w]

Looking into getting a new CPU cooler for my AMD FX 6100.
Am using the stock cooler right now and my temps are between 14 - 30 degrees
Any recommendations?
Cheers guys

Hyper 212+ Evo. It's cheap and it works awesome. You can add another fan to it to make it cool even better and it still costs less than it's competition.

Cool Master Hyper 212+ Evo is good
But that is $30 buck
When you can buy a water cooling system for a extra $10 bucks
Called Cooler Master Seidon 120M
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103179
It's compare to a H80 Corsair which is $90 bucks

You will need a 120m to mount this on your case

CPU - AMD FX 6100

25 quid mate

Will it handle a bit of overclocking? or will I need to go into liquid cooling or a higher performance heatsink/fan

 

[iceclock]

well whats ur full budget?

 

[c94w]

I can push up to about £50 am on a tight budget right now

Noctua D14

http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/thermaltake_water20_performer_pro/4.htm

The Noctua D14 beats the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer by a bit but it is safer(no water leaks),ends up cooling you ram and mobo as well and the price is similar:

Check the specifications of your case first thout cause it may not fit or require you to take off the side fan.

 

[iceclock]

well the noctua is is nice, but depends if he wants water or air coolingé

 

[c94w]

I don't really have a preference to be fair as long as I can lower my temps and have the option to OC I'm not fussed... But price is a big factor right now sadly.

 

[iceclock]

is 55$ toomuch? i can always look for something cheaper dude.

 

[c94w]

Honestly at the moment yeah... Lost my job an that so monies tight right now, spent most of my last wage on my new rig haha.

 

[c94w]

Going back to the Noctua I doubt it would fit into my case, my PSU is top mounted and I can't be blowing extra money on a new case as well. Clearance with my RAM wouldn't be a problem the modules are pretty small.

 

[iceclock]

hmm, than the hyper 212+ would be sufficient
