So as the title states I want to cool my FX-8320 without breaking the bank. My Budget can exceed 40 dollars if it's just a few dollars more or to cover shipping, taxes, and so on! I live in Canada, Ontario.
So help me out guys! I don't know what to look for and I just want to cool my CPU. The case I am using is the Rosewill Challenger U3
Best option for you in my opinion, I have used both, and the Enermax is obviously better. I used it to cool my brothers 8320 at 4.4ghz it doesn't reach 50c ;]
I second the Hyper 212 EVO, just switched it out with a new Antec Kuhler 620. But the EVO was absolutely amazing. I don't recommend OC'ing with it too much, unless your chip is just an absolute beast. But if you keep it at stock, it will be super cool.
I have the 212 evo and it barely handles my fx 8320 @ 4.5 ghz 1.356v . It can't handle the heat during stress tests but it can handle any other cpu intensive game perfectly, it tops out at 60 degrees while playing bf3 online and random 65-67 temp spikes every now and then. Guess my chip is a damn lottery winner. voltage sits normally at 1.356 - 1.380 but it jumps all the way up to 1.426 in prime.
