I'm running my FX8320 as standard at the moment with the stock cooler (which is noisy and absolute garbage). So I'm looking for something that will be much quieter and keep everything cooler for when I overclock at some point in the future.

Any recommendations would be appreciated :).
 
Too bad OcUK don't sell Thermalright anymore. The Macho Rev.A or new Macho Rev.B are excellent coolers for the money. They also just released a new TRUE Spirit 140 Rev.A that is 165 x 155 x 80 mm (HxWxD) with base offset so it is only 69mm from center CPU toward PCIe socket. Here is the normal TRUE Spirit 140 and TRUE Spirit 140 Rev.A for comparison

Both TRUE Spirit 140 rev.A and Macho rev.B have excellent review temps.
 
More expensive than top air coolers with just as good or better cooling, quieter, and no worries about pump failure or leaks. Only thing to go wrong with air coolers is a fan .. easily fixed and system will even run at low load without fan, When CLC pump fails you have no cooling at all .. can't run system until cooler is replaced at much higher cost than just a fan on air cooler. .
