FX-8350 Cooler

humax · 22 Nov 2015 at 23:59

Hi Guys

Looking for recommendations for a Air cooler for a FX-8350. Using a Cooler Master 212 at the moment but I don't think its up to the job. Don't really want to spend a shed load on it as well. Just something to cool this 8350 beast

Thanks Guys

The ones I were looking at are the

Phanteks PH-TC12DX

Noctua NH-U12P SE2

Akasa Venom Voodoo

.

Aio but then your luck is that 0.01 it would leak.

Looking at your ram its low profile, so you could get a big cooler, something like this.

Or if you want to go really high end.

I just been reading about it and people saying the cooler is fine, give me 5mins and i have a loom at the ones you posted.

Ok thanks, Just been looking at some reviews on it on You tube and everyone seems to like it

the NH-D14 and the NH-D15 get a really good name. Ive went for the Phanteks PH-TC14PE and its doing a better job than my H80i on the 4690k@ 4.5Ghz.

Ill be building the 8350 back up next weekend with the H80i and will have a go at getting it back to 4.5Ghz and will update you.

The Shadow Rock 2 no far off beating the Phanteks PH-TC12DX

.

The akasa looks ok, the only thing what putting me of is the colour.

The other two are good makes, but not sure on how good they are unless looking at reviews.

So your looking to spend around £50

humax · 23 Nov 2015 at 00:47

Yes about 30 to 50 quid

I managed to get the Phanteks PH-TC14PE off the auction site for under £50 delivered. Im well chuffed with it. it is massive though.. whatever cooler you decide to go with just make sure it will fit inside the case.

humax · 23 Nov 2015 at 01:13

Nice. What chip you got it running on ?

.

jbh110tdi · 23 Nov 2015 at 01:18

that's running on my 4690k @ 4.5Ghz and 1.25v

this is the rig that's replaced my 8350 as my main machine.
I'm over the moon with how it performs but I dont like to add up what its cost me so far..
( I know there's other members on here that has possibly spent a lot more but I was on a budget as having 2 kids and the youngest being disabled the pc isint top priority )

Im still tempted to drop in a 4790k next year if they come down in price but at the moment the 4690k has impressed me

humax · 23 Nov 2015 at 01:20

You got that at a good price. Was it new ?

.

no second hand. some of the new prices on there for it are completely bonkers.
O/C have it but its just shy of £70

Thats a bit over priced for me. But Black Friday is coming up so there might be some good bargains to be had

yea hopefully.

Im the same a new one was over my budget so when I spotted the one on auction I put a bid in on my budget and got it so was chuffed.

it was £22 under the price of a new one but still.. £22 makes a difference..
