Loud CPU fan

[swilczak]

I bought an AMD FX 8320 back in November, and lately I've been playing games like Crysis 3 and my CPU fan gets really loud when I play it. I was interested in buying a liquid cooler or some sort of fan and heat sink that will fit in my case and get rid of the noise. I looked at liquid coolers and they look like they have a big radiator and I'm not sure if it will fit in my case, or where to put it in my case. I have a mid size tower with a full size ATX board. Any suggestions?

maybe try and monitor your temp and control the fan and drop the rpm in conjunction with a safe cpu temp

That cooler looks smaller than some of the other ones I've looked at. Would I just mount the radiator on the back of the PC where the 120mm fan would normally be? Do these devices need maintenance?

Yeah just mount it where u said, maintenance would just be the usual cleaning of the fans on the water cooler obv theres fans to keep the radiator cool, u could also mount another fan to get the push pull affect.

Look at the specs its a 120mm fan on the antec so it will fit/mount

 

[darren0000]

Think u need a dual mount for the bigger ones but not too sure but i know the antec kuhler is 120mm which will fit yours

Okay thanks for the help, I'll be buying one soon.
