New cpu cooler suggestions.

[JamesEd]

So i recently made a thread about my cpu and came to a conclusion that i need a new (better than my stock) cpu cooler. (here if you want to check it out:http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2243302/cpu-overclocking-noob.html)

I need it to fit in my case (obviously) : Fractional design DEFINE Mini

It needs to fit my current Cpu socket: FM2+

And it needs to be compatible with my (already planned) future purchases :

• 
  AMDFX8350 (AM3+ Socket)
  And the motherboard (if it makes a difference):M5A78L-M/USB3

Suggestions and discussions are welcome.
Look forward to your suggestions.

Cheers,
-James

Thinking of this:

Any opinions?

I would go with this one http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-L12-Low-profile-Quiet-Cooler/dp/B007C861WO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407114873&sr=8-1&keywords=nh+l12 I prefer air cooling, just personal taste the one you listed is good, but there are muc better water colling systems out there I would say go with the noctua.

If you want a cheap one go ahead and get the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO. It is a great fan and it is cheap.

Yeah that, or a corsair H75 would be a good bet if you are tight for space.

CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO is to big for my case i think.

Im kinda restricted on my space here, my case is the Fractal Design Defined Mini

The noctua looks alright though. One question on it though, is it not going to be interrupting the exhaust fan's air?

Looks like the 212 evo fits, apparently:

Yeah, i guess i could get the 212, but are you sure it will fit?

I dont have that case or cooler(any more) so I cant say 100%, but that guy says he has one fitted in that case.

But a AIO liquid cooler is a good option too, because it is easy to fit, no issues with space and can exhaust the heat straight out of the case, lowering inside case temps for the other components.

 

[JamesEd]

Yeah, thanks. Probably wont be going with the evo, unless someone can confirm the fit.

Just looked it up, the case supports 160mm tall cpu coolers, and the 212 evo is 159 xD

Close call. Should i get it?
