Hi Everyone,

I am looking to buy a new CPU Cooler (that is not the Corsair H100i, I learn't the hard way; bought that and it didn't fit in my case)

It needs to be under £100, and will fit in my Coolermaster K280. 

I have an AMD FX-8350 CPU.

 

I would like to hear opinions ect if anyone has the same CPU as me and a cooler & how the work together!

 

Many Thanks,

Matt

Email Overclockers and ask for the Raijintek Tisis. It's £50 but not showing on the website at the moment. (Long story).

 

It's amazing for the money as long as you can calm down the non PWM fan. I use a fan controller for it. 

 

I hope you like red.

I'd also buy this, Be quiet is amazing, i have the Shadow rock 2 now, and several other Be quiet fans in a 330R, i can barely hear them! 

It keeps my CPU (i5 3570k @4.0Ghz) on 70 degrees at max, when going 100%, which is impressive considering it's quite a big leap in clock speed, and it is an arcitecture known for heating when overclocking :)
