Hi all

I have a amd FX 8150 (yes i know not anyones favorite but i like) and i am wanting to get the maximum OC out of it could you please recommend a Cooler i currently have a noctua nh u12 and getting temps of high 70 on load using prime95

Spec:

Asus Sabertooth 990fx
AMD FX 8150 @4ghz
8gb XMS3 @1600mhz
twin frozr lll hd 6950
Crucial C300 64gb OS
Samsung F3 1tb Storage
Corsair hx 750w
Coolermaster HAF 932

if anyone has any overclocking settings i could try as well that would be helpfull

thanks in advance
 
thanks i think i will look at the noctua since i have a nh-u12 at the moment and it is a good cooler i currently have my CPU OC'ed at 4ghz and temps are mid 50s and want to push it a bit further

The NH-U12 should give decent temps, had one myself 3 years ago on an i7 930 OC'd to 3.8GHz, got good temps.

Which orientation are you using? Push Pull or one fan?

If you decide to buy something new, recommendations as above, I've a H100 I'm happy with but thats OC'ing a Core i7 2600K to 4GHz, yes a mild OC but the temps are lovely and it keeps the system quiet.

i have it set up as push pull temps hit nearly 80 degrees using prime95 when i clocked it to 4.4ghz so i dropped it back down
