Heatsink?

A 92 mm heatsink would not be suitable for your FX 8320 imo.

 

Anyways, I'd just get a regualr 92 mm CPU cooler with a crappy fan on it, that can fit 2 fans total.

 

Or try to buy one used without fans.

 

The only heatsink that comes without fans out of the box is the Prolimatech Megahalems but its 140 mm. Maybe you could just strap 2 fans on each side of it using zip ties. :D That wouldbe crazy and unefficient, but it would utilize all your 92 mm fans. :D

Anyone know where I can buy just a heatsink? I bought what was supposed to be a NH U9B, but ended up getting 4 92mm Noctua fans, a bunch of low noise adapters, and mounting hardware. I only need to buy a heatsink that fits the 92mm fans. I know I should get my money back, but it was dirt cheap for 4 Noctua fans.

Cooler is heatsink and fan. There would be more than 1 unhappy customers if they wouldn't box coolers like that.

Craigslist my friend. I got 4 Noctua fans for $30, but I had expected a heatsink as well, since he said it was a cooler, not just fans. However for 4 $10 fans and a bunch of LNAs, I'm not really going to complain

Ah, used.... I think people tend to scam/cheat there more often because risks are smaller. In smaller country like this its easy to find seller and make it police business. If you want ofc.

It's still a good deal for 4 Noctua fans, it's more of just an inconvenience to need the heatsink seperately
