Need a new HSF as the stock cooler that came with the cpu is too loud.

CPU: AMD Bulldozer FX-8 Eight Core 8150 Black Edition

Any reccommendations?

A big one.

Budget? Will you plan to overclock?

sid-180 · 29 Oct 2012 at 15:52

budget is max £50 although the cheaper the better, might overclock a bit.

Assuming you have space in your case, how about this?

I have that CPU, my stock cooler isn't noisy, maybe you have your speed too high?

No sorry, I have the FX 8120 but I have it oc-ed to 3.6GHz
