Need a good cooler for FX 6300?

[Hell007]

Here is the rig: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/sharmatushar936%40gmail.com/saved/wW9XsY

I have heard that amd stock cooler are bad. My friend told me to use a aftermarket cooler for my fx to cool it down. I have no plan of overclocking but i want to cool it down for better performance and life. So give me link of good and easy to install aftermarket cooler. Remember the link should be of flipkart or snapdeal because i am from india. And one more thing tell me that using a aftermarket cooler voids the warrantee? If there will be the warrantee issues then i will not use the aftermarket cooler.

Hello, the AMD stock cooler is fine if you don't plan on overclocking, but you can find a better cooler and quieter cooler for a relatively cheap price that will even quite easily allow for some solid overclocking if you change your mind. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is a great solution if you're not trying to go crazy with overclocking and is widely recommended to be used instead of any stock heatsink. It can be found on PCPartPicker here ( http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2 ) and thousands of people use this cooler so support for the install isn't hard to find. It keeps the CPU cooler and does so in a much more quiet manner, so there is almost no reason not to get it, especially for its great value. I am currently using it and I achieved a 1GHz overclock with it, pretty awesome for the price. I hope this helped and for the installation watch this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO4yokgcOY4&ab_channel=TechUploaded ) for a step-by-step guide. By the way, the 6300 is a great overclocker so I encourage you to at least give it a slight bump in speed if you can figure out how to do it and your case has adequate airflow!!! Let me know if you have any questions or comments, I'm happy to help!!!

As you can see on AMD's page here ( http://support.amd.com/en-us/warranty/rma/terms/pib ) they say that "This Limited Warranty shall be null and void if the AMD microprocessor which is the subject of this Limited Warranty is used with any heatsink/fan other than the one provided herewith". Basically, yes the warranty is considered void if you use another cooler, but hardly anyone uses the stock cooler nowadays. Besides, I'm not exactly sure how they would be able to know that you were using another cooler as long as you sent it in with the cooler that they provided. Look online and anyone you see will be a proud user of an aftermarket cooler which they use to overclock and the last thing in their minds is the warranty considered void. Does the cooler nullify the warranty: yes. Does it really matter: no, not terribly. CPU's are pretty trusty today, as long as you don't go giving it 2V of energy with a 28GHz overclock. Your question has now become: stock cooler vs. aftermarket cooler pros and cons. Honestly the warranty is the stock cooler's one pro, but even then how would AMD know that you even used an aftermarket cooler if your CPU happened to suddenly break even though they tested it to make sure it worked. I personally think that you should not worry about the warranty since the Hyper 212 will keep the CPU cooler and, therefore, happier (to a certain extent) and performing well, less likely to die, while also giving your ears a more pleasant experience

However, with all of that said, if you really really REEEEEAAAALLLYYYY don't ever ever ever want to overclock at all, then the stock cooler would work just fine. After all, that's what it was meant to do. To be just enough (and maybe a tiny bit more) to keep your CPU cool and functional at stock. So its your choice overall but honestly people worry least about the warranty nowadays.

Cheap,easy to fit ,does a good job with a 6300.

The 212 evo is good but a little overkill for a stock 6 core & can be a pain to fit.

Id always use an aftermarket cooler - the one supplied with the 6300 is barely capable of doing the job in a relatively cool country like the UK,let alone in your country.

Good point with the environmental temperature there madmatt, its a good reason to get a solid cooler for a CPU. I agree, the 212 evo may be a little bit overkill at stock, but it allows for substantial overclocking if he changes his mind. Also, although it may be a pain to fit, the process of installing may be worth it considering that the fan is bigger, allowing for slower spinning speeds and a quieter cooler overall. (212 Evo: 9-36dbA vs TX3 17-35dbA)

^ it just always worries me if people are inexperienced PC builders - I use an evo myself on my 8 core setup & it is a good cooler I agree.
For the novice though they are not a particularly nice cooler to fit,I only suggestedcthe tx3 evo as its an absolute cinch to fit in comparison - comes with a double fan mount so push/pull is an option - once you do that performance isn't a million miles away from the 212.

True, I see what you mean. The Hyper 212 was part of my build and although it was quite easy for me to install, I was also working in a large and open case, but, through my overclocking eyes it was definitely worth it. For hell007 though, it might be a different story, seeing as he appears not to have any intention of overclocking. Hell007, I would watch this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smnKfsSxJCU&ab_channel=CCReviews ) if you are still considering an aftermarket cooler to decide which to get. Either way, they are both more quiet and will run the CPU cooler than the stock fan so it comes down to your preferences, you should enjoy the results regardless
