Small, quiet AM3+ cpu cooler?

[15105511]

hi, can yall recommend a small, quiet, am3+ cpu cooler for a smaller case? (bitfenix prodigy M)

I have been using the stock cooler.... And I have to say it's really loud!!

Anything below 60 bucks is fine!!

If you have the 8350 or similar processor that's a 125w TDP, it's going to be hard to find a small cooler that can dissipate 125w of heat. You can try getting a closed loop liquid cooler such as the h60 or something.

this is one of the smallest, But im not sure if it can handle that TDP. But from this it seems like it should work http://www.pureoverclock.com/Review-detail/noctua-nh-l12-cpu-cooler/6/

Even a tower cooler such as the 212 EVO will probably fit, I think the Prodigy M supports up to 160mm coolers.

Be Quiet! Shadow Rock 2 or Dark Rock 3

 

Or

 

The legendary Hyper 212 Evo.

From the looks of it the prodigy M fits an NH-D14 just fine so you'll be fine with just about an air cooler. I'd go with the be quiet Shadow Rock 2.
