Hey guys. I'm going to be purchasing the FX 6300

link:

Its $129.99 at the moment.

I plan to over clock this bad boy, so what do you think of the corsair h100 for keeping it cool?

I plan on installing it in the Corsair 650D Mid tower case. So tell me what you think :)
If you have a better cooling solution please tell me. Also provide links from ncix.ca if possible. I could consider going Non water cooling depending on the price and the quality cooler.

Thanks in Advance.
 
I really don't think you should use an expensive cooler on a cpu like the h100. You might as well forget the h100 and the 6300 and get a 3570k with the money saved.

If you do want to purchase the fx-6300 then I wouldn't go higher on the cpu cooler than a hyper 212 or a H60.
 

For once, I am actually happy you brought up Intel. What makes intel cpu's faster? I never really understood this :/

Is it the cache? because the fx 6300 has more cache. Is it the GHZ? Because thefx 6300 has 3.5GHZ while the i5 3570k has 3.4. I know a little bit about intel's hyperthreading, however I heard that he i5 cpu's do not use hyperthreading. So what makes the i5 3570k cpu faster? I plan on over clocking the fx 6300.
