Is a Hyper 212 Black Edition good enough to cool an FX-8370

[DK2006]

I just ordered an FX-8370 and Hyper 212 Black Edition for my first PC build, but I’ve heard a lot about the FX-8370 running very hot, and I just wanted to make sure my Hyper 212 will be enough to cool it? If not I can resort to ordering a Rosewill PB240. Keep in mind this is my first ever PC build so I’m not completely acquainted with this hardware yet. (FYI: I have 3 120mm case fans as well)

Why buy a 6 year old FX? How much did you pay for that thing? I think the Hyper 212 will manage, but these CPUs were really just terrible.

WHYYY???? Return it asap.

Anyway, hyper 212 will do the job, mine from my fx days.

Yes the Hyper 212 would be enough, but why order an FX 8370 in these days? there are similarly priced Ryzen CPUs that are much faster

Agreed, a used Ryzen 3 1200 will destroy this thing... (I still wouldn’t buy a used R3 1200, I’m just giving an example)

the cvooler is enough but the fx 8370  is very bad. used ryzen 3 1200 go for 30-50$ and absolytely destroys the fx 8370.

I wonder how much he paid for it, the prices I'm seeing on eBay are unreasonable averaging for 150$, that CPU is definitely not worth anywhere near that value.

AS AN FX8350 LOVER YOU MADE A BAD DECISION

 

Unless of course you had an AM3+ board and no other options, whether that be geographically or financially.

 

I have my FX 8350 + R9 Fury system and it plays Warzone well enough at reduced settings (on an SSD)

I originally got a FX-6300 for $45 dollars, but that got cancelled and I had already ordered the parts so I just went for the 8370 for $100

I originally ordered a 6300 for a really good deal but that got cancelled and the parts had already shipped so I decided to not go though the hassle of returning items and just get an 8370.

I got it for $100 with priority shipping included. I originally had a 6300 for $45 but that got cancelled and I had all the parts for an AM3+ PC so I just went for a 8370

I was stuck with am3+ board and DDR3 RAM that I had already ordered so I went for a 8370

But why FX? Do you have am3+ already? I won't buy a FX for $100.

Probably better for you to use $50 Athlon 3000ge, 2 cores but much faster in games.

Oof, sorry but for $100 this is a terrible deal. For example you can get a current-gen 10100f for the same price.

I had already gotten the rest of my parts which were all AM3+

you cna sell the AM3+ and DDR 3 and get a cheap motherboard and ryzen 3 3100/3300x or used ryzen 5 1600/2600 for that price.

Have you had the AM3+ platform for a while or was it newly purchased? if you've bought all of it as a system then you could've just as easily went for a 1st Gen or 2nd Gen Ryzen for a very similar price while being so much faster, the FX CPUs are awful and you definitely overpaid for 100$.

Yeah I know. But it was really my only option besides returning almost all my other parts after they arrived

I’ve had a few good experiences with the AM3+ platform before and I went for it for cost reasons but then my cheaper 6300 got cancelled so I bit the bullet and overpayed some  jackass for a 8370.

So you bought AM3+ and DDR 3? why? fx8370 perfroms liek first gen intel i3 at gamesl like i3 240 or something.

i would pay like 30€ tops. like ryzen 3 1200 is better and cost around 40$

I might do that depending on how well my PC does what I want it to. If it works for what I want well enough then Ill stick with my 8370 and get a good water cooler and do an agressive over clock to try to get as much single threaded performance as I can.

I had already gotten all my parts. Plus I’m also using this for some tasks that I need more cores for.
