Quick question.

June 10, 2014

I have a quick question.

Will a "Scythe Big Shuriken 2 rev.B
Keep up with a amd fx 8320?

If so will it overclock you think?

I love low profile coolers, not those big square lump of aluminium.
If there is a better low profile cooler please tell me below.

Thank you!

you do realise the less aluminium the worse it cools?

You can't fit a full size cooler? It's going to be hot with this cooler :\

If you need low profile, then I doubt you'll be able to overclock way to much if you find an adequate cooler. It is a 125w tdp. If you just think big coolers look stupid get an AIO watercooler. They look subtle and nice.

Here's the thing- due to the size of the CPU , it tend to spread out more. I hear even the noctua low profile cools a slightly overclocked 8320. So what I'm saying is that should work, but don't take my word for it I havn't bought an AMD cpu for a while now to experiment.

Ok, now that I look, I see claims that the GeminII M4 can cool an 8350 oced to 4.5GHZ,

So I'd bet what you listed could cool that 8320 just fine. Maybe overclock able a bit, but I can't say till you get it. If I remember right the FX CPUs actually come with pretty small stock coolers.
