Hey guys, I have an outmoded AMD FX-6100-SixCore 3.3ghz processor with a stock fan. After using it for 6-7 years, now I see its idle temperature is about 45-50c celsius and while in a game it hits +80c. I'm gonna upgrade my CPU with a Ryzen 5 2600x 1-2 months later but today I need a CPU Cooler first, I'll use it with my new CPU also.
Alright, I oscillate between Deep Cool Gammaxx S40 120mm and Thermaltake Contac Silent 12. Which is better? I would be grateful if you give me an idea.
Very much thanks.
 
Hi, If you like the look of deepcools products I would go for the DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm Lucifer V2-CPU Cooler 140mm it is only $10 more but if it fits in your case it has 300W max cooling so they claim instead of 150W, that will help a lot with the OC for now and later.

otherwise the 2 you listed are pretty evenly matched, just pick whichever looks best to you.
