CPU cooler

[Lord Bovril2]

I need a cooler for my fx6300. Im in the UK (so it would be helpful if you could talk £ instead of $).

 

my budget is £50 and the cooler has to be able to fit in a 'zalman zm t4' case

 

 

thanks in advance,

A Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO should be good, and costs 30£...

I have that and if isn't that good for high-end overclock, is quite a good product...

[Lord Bovril2]

can it at least overclock to 4ghz?

Thermalight macho

doesnt fit in my case

there is a small version of it also

how bout noctua cooler with 4 heatpipes and 90mm fans? idk whats name

[Lord Bovril2]

the noctua cooler you mentioned (i think this is the one) is too expensive and not for AM3+ cpu's

 

i cant find smaller macho, should i go with the closed loop liquid cooler 'cosair h55' it fits in case but iv heard bad things about closed loop water cooling

thermalright axp200 or axp100 also the raijintek pallas140 is good.

You should be shooting for 4.2ghz+ with the 212 Evo.

its between the thermalright axp-100, the 212 evo, and the corsair h55

 

which one would let me overclock the highest?

I would Defo go for the 212, not the h55 as it doesn't perform very well and is loud. However you could spend another £10 and get a U14s which is miles better than the 212, h55... As it is silent and performs like a h100

I had a similar thread open earlier for the same question and budget

 

To be honest most people recommended the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and found the best place to be scan or novatech averaging around £25 

 

You could always use some of the £25 you save and buy better thermal paste or simply save it

sorry to keep asking questions but would this be better/worse/same as the 212 evo?

 

its the one manny calavera mentioned that I couldn't find (but obviously have now)

I'd still go with the Hyper 212. 

 

In reference to the closed loops concerns...Theres nothing wrong with them, however, anything less than a 240mm radiator (and above) is pretty much on par with a good air cooler...I.e. a Hyper 212 is just as good as any liquid cooler that has a radiator less than 240mm.

just little info all AMD coolers since AM2 have the same mounting brackets
