Best liquid cpu cooler under 200 dollars

I recently just got a new case, the CORSAIR 750D. So im thinking of getting a new cpu cooler, at the moment I'm using a corsair h75 and am planning on either overclocking my amd 1100t from 3.7ghz to 4.0ghz or buying either an AMD FX8350 or an AMD FX9370. I believe that hte 9370 requires a pretty decent cpu cooler in order for it to run cool and stable. So can you guys think of any really good liquid cpu coolers out there that are really easy to install like the CORSAIR H75, will cool the 9370 pretty nicely without hitting anywhere near lets say.. 55 degrees Celsius under load and under 200 dollars? If im gonna get a new cpu, I won't be overclocking them at all, specially if i end up getting the 9370, I'm perfectly fine with it at stock speeds.

best aio nzxt x60

also no point in getting a 9370 a 4670k beats it and if you dont want to OC at all you may as well save your money and a get 4670

it baffles my mind that people buy this huge cases, dedicated for custom liquid cooling solutions and multiple GPUs, and then put stuff like an H75 or 1100t in it ...

 

Befor spending more money on a AIO liquid cooler, I'd rather spend money on a decent air cooler like the NH-D15 or get into custom liquid cooling.

INTEL? I just recently bought an AMD motherboard and everything lol, I really don't play to switch to intel at all anytime soon, and rather not. If not a 9370 than i might just get a 8350 and stick with my current cpu cooler the h75.

8350 or 8320 is the way to go.

So just stick with the H75 and get a 8350? how hot do the 8350s run at stock speed? I don't plan on using custom water cooling either, I really don't wana go through trying to install them. The reason ibought this case was for optimal airflow, space and be able to fit in any graphics card i want. I don't plan putting in multiple graphics cards.

8350's at stock speeds don't really run hot at all. A hyper 212 EVO can keep them under 60 degrees easily. What motherboard did you buy? A lot of AM3+ motherboards can't handle the power draw of the 9xxx series chips. They also need a lot better cooling as AMD went nuts with the voltage.

Easy installation wise the best AIO out there is the Corsair H100i at $100. The best AIO is the Kraken X60 which a pretty install if you just follow the manual well or watch a vid beforehand.

my motherboard is the ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0. Isn't the CORSAIR H105 better than the H100i?

I buy from mwave.com.au and I don't see the glacer, Eisberg or a swiftec on their website. I would rweally much prefer a liquid cpu cooler thats very easy to install like the h75. I believe the corsair 100 series are very easy to install, and atm im looking at the H105. What do you guys think? about the H105 that is, is it a good cpu cooler? could it handle a 9370 at stock speeds or a 8350 and maybe future some future overclocking on the 8350?

Yeah, the glacer and Swiftec aren't available in Australia unless you feel like importing, any of the H series coolers will be fine.

The M5A99X EVO is not compatible with the FX-9000 series, so you have to go 8350 and overclock it.

Errmm. That is pretty much what the Fx 9000 is.

it's based on things like the 220w tdp on the fx 9000 series compared to the 125w tdp (I think) of the 8350

That is the reason why only a few motherboards support it yes. But I was saying that the 8350 is a much better deal since it really is the same CPU almost.

just lower binned and clocked, yes.

I'd go for the 8350, or even the 8320 and overclock it, spending the savings on a better cooler or custom loop.

hm, so the ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 isn't compatible with the 9000 series cpus. Might just get the 8350 than and stick with the H75 for the time being. One other question... Can scratches on the copper part of the cooler cause temperature problems? by the copper part, i mean the part which goes right over the cpu and had thermal paste pre applied to it..

Maybe but I don't think it matters that much. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/corsair_h75_review,12.html the cooler you have is decent, it's about 10 degrees cooler than a cooler master hyper 212 evo (which handles my 8320 at 4.4 GHz, 1.45 volts fine) and only 8 degrees below the h110. A 8350 will be able to be overclocked higher than a 8320 and with lower voltages, and I think 4.6-4.7 is doable.
