That Chinese cooler looks exactly like every other Chinese cooler out there (and, suspiciously, like the upHere coolers on Amazon). The big difference amongst heatsinks at that bargain level is the fan. Is the issue that your fan is loud or that your CPU is running hot? An overclocked 8350 can be a beast on even higher-end air coolers if the case ventilation isn't great.

 

If you want to replace your cooler, the Deepcool Gammaxx 400 is an outstanding budget option.

Hello, I won't be giving out details for I will be getting straight to the point, I have two really crappy CPU coolers I need to know which one is better and if it is worth the replacement!

First here are my specs,

FX 8350

Aorus 8Vram RX 580

AK series 800W

Corsair Vengence CMY32GX3M4A1600C9

Bio star TA970

Wanjiafeng WJF-S9225

I know not the best selection but I got it from a friend that doesn't understand much about pcs anyways my friend got a CPU cooler that he wanted to give me since he has no idea how it works and some parts are missing but I think it will still work, The CPU cooler I'm trying to replace is the Wanjiafeng WJF-S9225 it a really bad one but I still need reassurance before I do this and the one I am gonna replace it with is the ENERMAX ETS-N30R-HE here are the specs for both of them

And the Enermax is missing the universal mount do you think I can just replace it from the Wanji one? And what about the thermal paste? If you need pics just ask, Thanks!

Is your CPU throttling? Or is your HSF too loud? Maybe both? I wouldn't upgrade the CPU HSF at all if neither of those two criteria are met.

 

If you're just itching to get in there and tinker regardless, then one of the better budget-friendly performers would be the Noctua NH-U14S.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Now i know there are alot better choice s but since i already have this one i might as well do so right? And yes that is the reason i want an upgrade but that makes me wonder another question will the enermax be enough for over clocked fx 8350?
