Fx-6300 Fan or watercooler?

[azurin]

Hello there,

I plan to build up a new PC for one of my friends and I'm wondering if I'd need a watercooler for a fx-6300 CPU. Someone told me you need to switch to watercooling when you've got many cores (six or more) but differents opinions heard elsewhere made me doubt. No overcloking planned and it's a budget build. So, fan or watercooling?

Thanks
P.S. - I have one for mine (fx-8320) but is it necessary? I'd rather keep it for overcloking days, later.

a good air cooler wil do the job if he is not overcloking .

Okay, that's good to hear, Thank you. So I guess were made for overclocking and in pretty much any situation, good air cooling can do the job?

Yes it can without problems.
