Tips or Suggestions for after market CPU Cooler

[raidenraccoon]

I have a six-core AMD FX-6300 running at stock. While gaming and rendering videos i notice my case fans blowing out warm air.

 

I would like to replace the cooler that came packaged with the CPU for something that'll maybe add cooler temps and ultimately a longer life span.

 

i'm after a cooler that has a copper base and/or direct contact heatpipes, leaving enough room for all 4 DIMM slots to be occupied (RAM modules are 40mm/1.58 in. high) and that'll fit in the 5 inch area inbetween my side fan and motherboard.

 

If it helps:

• case is Raidmax Agusta
• MB is Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
• RAM is G.Skill Ripjaws X

 

any suggestions or buying tips are very much appreciated! Thank you!

whats your budget?

Not exactly sure how much clearance you have but I'm guessing plenty since it's a full tower.

If my guess is right, I'd recommend the NH-u14s.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

 

edit: I like the NH-u14s idea too from WoodenMarker

Evo, I actually did a review of it on the forum

thank you all for the suggestions.

 

@skullbringer my max budget was $60

 

i've gone with Cooler Master since it seems to be the most reccomended every where i turn as well as within the range of money i have
