cooler for an AMD FX 8320

[jay2577]

Hi guys i'm looking for a new cooler for my AMD 8320 cpu and wondered if you had any suggestions. I don't want to spend a fortune on one but i want one which is fairly good and quiet.
I currently run it with 4 cores (1 per compute unit) during normal use and all 8 cores when I am encoding video or playing games which will use the extra cores.I haven't overclocked yet but i will do at some point.
Any suggestions will be appreciated

Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO if it fits your case.

It's probably the most popular air cooler. Effective and dirt cheap.

I would go with a watercooling solution... Propably this one

From your picture it looks like your case is a CM Elite 430, same as mine. From what I've read it fits the case with a few mm to spare. I'm installing mine on Tuesday so if you can wait until then I'll let you know how it goes.

Very expensive compared to the 212 evo.

sure, but it would be better for overclocking......... anyway, you are a CPU master, I trust you 😉

Of course it would be, but the guy was looking for a cheap one.

Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think i will go with the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO. Water cooling seems a bit much, I have 4 x 12cm case fans so my i get good airflow.
