Cooler for FM2

[Hardeep294]

I'm in need of a silent-ish cooler for my 5800k, budget of around £20. Case is fractal design arc mini, has a max cooler height of 165mm.
Looking at the freezer 7 pro and the hyper TX3 evo. All help appreciated

FM1 compatible coolers should also fit FM2

I checked on the xigmatek website, both of these fit fm2:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Xigmatek Achilles II SD1284 CPU-Cooler - 120mm (Socket LGA775 / 1150 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 AMD AM2 / AM3 / FM1) £23.98
1 x Xigmatek Gaia CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011 / AM2 / AM3 / FM1) £19.99
Total : £53.87 (includes shipping : £8.25).



Not sure which one to go for though, how much of a difference is there between 24 and 31 decibels? It's barely noticable is it?

Lol , i put the Xigmatek Gaia before but seen it was only fm1 compatible.

I am almost certain that all AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2 coolers are interchangeable. Look it up.

Yup, as stated earlier p) they both fit fm2 I'm not too bothered about overclocking so I think I'll just go for the cheaper, quieter option
