What CPU cooler to get?

[peikko69]

Hello, I've read alot useful things on this forum and thought I could ask a question here and get a good answer.
So my pc specs (HP pavilion prebuilt)
Mobo: MSI 7778(1.0 version)
GPU: GTX 750 TI
CPU: amd apu a8-5500
PSU: 500W

Ps. Its a FM2 socket, u prob knew it but just to make sure.
I have an athlon x4 760k coming in a few days. So what CPU cooler would fit in my mobo/case(suppose its matx)
My stock CPU cooler is about 80x80x60? mm
I think I can not probably fit a 120m fan and it needs to be less than 160mm tall.

Hello !
This should be fine : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GOW4EH8?pc_redir=1414563052&robot_redir=1
And for OC :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GIO7D5C/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1414948639&sr=8-6&pi=SL75
These RADs don't exceed 155 mm (6 inches) and are normally compatible for FM2 sockets

Are their width fine? I mean the stock cooler has max a centimeter room on each side. There is a connector in they way on one side, mostly blocking a wide Heatsink, the fan could be alot wider as its above the connector so there is nothing blocking it.

So, in this situation the Themis should fit (55 mm of depth and 120 of width), but no the Macho I think
To be sure, take other mesures and check if the Themis fit (normally yes)
Keep your A8, may be you will have to update the BIOS

Is there none 80mm wide ones? I could be sure it fits, sorry for being so hard(like a woman) 😀 But as what I've read the mobo supports a10-6800k wich is the same as x4 760k without the integrated graphics, right?

 

[peikko69]

And there was someone in the forum who has the same Mobo and the x4 760k worked fine.

 

[peikko69]

And the 120mm width could be too much as the stock one is 80mm and it really has max a centimeter mroe room on a side. Do you need a picture of it to make things clearer?

This is one if the smallest CPU cooler in the market (90mm width and 55mm of depth)

 

[peikko69]

So that is Fm2 compatible and what about it being aluminium, is it fine (heard bad things about aluminium) And is t ready to install, like does it need seperate brackets etc. to fit?

 

[peikko69]

And does Thermal paste come in with cpu coolers usually? Or do I need to buy it seperately?

 

[peikko69]

What about this http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/23341/drjtt/Arctic-Cooling-Freezer-A11-prosessorituuletin-AMD-alustoille
Do you have any idea on wich side those heatpipes will be, could they be blocked by something.

 

[AHBman]

The thermal paste which comes with the TX3 should be fine

 

[peikko69]

Okay http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/47479/dxcmj/Cooler-Master-Hyper-103-prosessorijaahdytin this looks like a nice one too, do you think those dimensions include the heatpipes? Btw, thank u so much for ur time!

 

[peikko69]

Wait what, am I this stupid. Are the heatpipes in contact with the CPU? so the fan is like horizontal?

 

[peikko69]

Okay last question, the TX3 in a shop i could order from it doesnt say it fits with fm2, fits with everything else.

 

[AHBman]

Sorry, I was too long, I don't have lot of infos about the A11, but it's look good, especially for direct contact with heatpipes and CPU and plane base
Of course, the fan is vertical
The TX3 fit on FM2 sockets
You have the choice now, the A11 seems performs better than the TX3, but he is widther and depther

 

[peikko69]

Are you sure it fits on fm2, I mean how come its not listed on the site.

 

[AHBman]

Its listed on this site :
http://m.materiel.net/catalogue/radiateur-pour-processeur/arctic-cooling-freezer-a11-100238
It's mentionned on "specification", at last

 

[peikko69]

I was talking about the TX3, I think im getting it. But on the site I would buy it from it doesnt mention FM2, so I'm afraid it wont come with proper mounts to fit fm2?

 

[peikko69]

Here is the link for it again, http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/1578/dhdcb/Cooler-Master-Hyper-TX3-EVO-prosessorijaahdytin#product-description

 

[AHBman]

On many sites it's mentionned that it's fits on FM2 sockets, don't worry, also in the site of Cooler Master :
http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-tx3/
Only on your site it doesn't mentionned

 

[peikko69]

How is it connected to the motherboard, the needed parts come with the package? So what if it wont have the needed parts to fit in fm2

 

[AHBman]

I think that the reason of absence of FM2 in the list of compatibles sockets is that the product have been referenced on the site before the release of FM2 sockets, an any update have been did since the release, normally AMD bundle should fit on all AMD sockets
Can you see others site where you can buy the TX3 ?
It comes in the bundle

 

[peikko69]

Well thank you alot for your help and time, merci beaucoup.

 

[peikko69]

And you think that comes with thermal paste?
