My question is, what is the best oc'd performance I could get out of it with this cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103064
Or with this cooler:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065
Or are they the same?
I want to oc the iGPU aswell.
I would go for the Hyper 212 as it has the bigger fan and also the heatpipes are not in a direct line for airflow. Having the heatpipes staggered in a air cooler does allow for better cooling. The only thing I would say if you have high profile ram you might want to check that the Hyper 212 won't cause an issue by covering a ram slot or 2.
the hyper isn't THAT big
For the A10 I generally recommned the TX3, simply because if you are using the A10 then you're likley on a strict budget and that fan performs really well for its price, though I usually pick it up for around $18. The 212 is the better cooler though, theTX3 is considered to be the 212's little brother. I suggest the 212 for the FX6300.
I believe there are three coolers in this family btw, the 101 (80mm), the TX3(92mm) and the 212(120mm).
I appreciate the help with the cooler, but i haven't really gotten an answer yet.
How much can I overclock it while keeping it stable? I was hoping 4.4ghz, or 4.3ghz.
There is no hard answer to that question as there are too many variables powersupply mobo casetemp and so on but 4.4ghz sounds achievable.
OK, thanks.
