Cooler for FX 4300 (AM3+) cpu.

[steveis2]

Hi,
What cooler could I use with a FX 4300 (AM3+) cpu that would keep its temperature normal without overclocking? The FX 4300 has a TDP of 95W.

With an ASROCK N68C-GS FX motherboard that has a maximum CPU power capacity of 95Watts I am assuming that overclocking would be impossible anyway. Although I know nothing really about overclocking so I could be wrong.

Regards Steve

You would need to specify a budget and your location to make a suggestion relevant. For 40USD and in the USA, I'd suggest you go for the Be Quiet! Shadow Rock (or the Shadow Rock Slim). If you can find the Coolermaster Hyper 212x for less than 40USD then get that. I would've suggested the Cryorig H7 but it's prices have been a little high as of late.

Hi, Thanks for the recommendations. I can buy these in the UK at not too high a price. Thanks again.

A gammaxx 300 is more than enough for an fx 4300.

& no you won't be overclocking on that board.
