Do you already have the board? I would never get the fx 8150...anyways what do you prefer? Heatsink, liquid cooling etc?

For 90 dollars you can get a corsair H80

in my back up rig i have the FX-8150 and it had the dark pro above and it got hotter than hell in my room, i turn over and went to another H80 to which i have in my main rig and the temps went down my 10c on desktop and gaming about 15/18C.

anybody witha chip like that should have it on a closed loop H80 or above and those saying use Air are complete tools and need to get a grip on themself's.

if you go to the ROG asus forums lists of best coolers plus temps and pics and such like including my 3 rigs all on H80 coolers will see they are the best and my chips are the 1090T X6 FX-8150 both from AMD and the new Intel 3930K all chips running at 25/30c desktop and clocked to over 4.4Ghz or 5Ghz on the intel and in games like BF3 on Eyfinity max of 45C on ultra on a res of 5760x1200.
