AMD FX 8350 closed water loop cooler?

[RaymondL]

I currently own an amd fx 8350 on the gigabyte 970a-ud3p motherboard and my current cpu cooler is a zalman cnps5x and after only a month or 2 that cooler has started getting much louder and the idle temps were about 40-45 degrees roughly on idle! and i was thinking of going for a closed water loop cooler that has a 120mm rad. Which one should i get? I currently have the Antec gx500 pc case and i was looking at the corsair h80i and will it much quieter and cooler than my current one? Or are there any other options?

x61?

Basically if you want quiet on most cooler just put on some nocturas :c

it has to be a single 120mm rad my case does not have enough space at the top even thoe it has dual 120mm fans

i read this http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2588957/corsair-h100i-gtx-cooler-fit-case-antec-500.html and it says something about not enough ceiling height so im kinda scared to get a 240mm radiator in case it does not fit

Fair point.

 

H80i GT would be best performance

How would the cooler master seidon 120 v2 go with the fx 8350? or is it better to go with the h80i gt?

Honestly, if you can only fit a 120mm i would get a big heatsink, single 120s don't give much performance considering the value. If you want to go with a 120 over aesthetic reasons, buy the thickest one you can find, i think zalman has a 45mm thick AIO. The Nepton 120XL could be a good option since it comes with quality fans, but i insist that if all you want is good temps, get a CRYORIG R1 ultimate, or a Noctua NH-D15, and if you need a bit cheaper a phanteks ph-tc14pe. Another decent AIO would be the Enermax 120X and if you could fit a 140mm rad, the kraken X41 would be your best choice

That's a thin 120mm, i had one of those, not a good buy, trust me.
