Currently have an amd fx 4130. Just upgraded MB to a Asrock 990extreme9, was looking at the fx8350 and Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO at 189$. Would there be anything better for around same price?

Yeap and also you can use a second fan to the 212 for even better cooling.

Well you messed up already, if you were upgrading your motherboard you should of got an Intel socket so you could get a good i5, a nonoverclockable i5 would beat out the overclocked fx 8350

I'd recommend the cryorig h7 cooler if it's available in your country

The only better is fx9590-9370 which non of them worth it at all,they are much hotter,more expensive and also just an factory overclock fx 8320-8350.So in my opinion grab the fx 8350 with the 212 and clock it to 4.5,it would handle any single gpu on the market.

I was going to but then my friend said he had that MB and he practically gave it to me.

Would the 212 handle the extra heat from overclocking?
