Cpu cooler for Am3 socket

[jks1984]

Hi all

Doing my build at the end of the month and got nearly everything sorted except can't decide on a cooler.

Case will be a mini antec p180 and i will need a am3 socket cooler.

I will not be overclocking but want to make the case look all shexxxy so not wanting the standard cooler

Don't really want to spend much more than £60 tbh , i looking at the corsair h-50 at the mo but really not sure.

Thanks in advance

Jamie

What CPU is it? Depending on the chip, if you're not overclocking, this will do fine:

If a Phenom II then maybe this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-072-AK&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395

Hi Orcvader thanks for the reply.

The cpu is a phenom II and i love that akasa venom i think it's awesome its just i either planning on a white or blue scheme for my case and that yellow is just gonna clash big time.

Or stick with the H50. It's an excellent CPU cooler.

Thanks again Orcvader for the reply.

Am liking that combo with the fan looks like it would look well nice.

Is the corsair h50 as simple to install as it looks or is there more involved, this will be my first build and just didnt want to get out of my depth lol.

It's quite simple. Just make sure there are no kinks in the tubing. There will be instrcutions to help guide you installing it
