FX-8350 Stock Cooler vs. CM 212 Evo vs. Corsair H60

shovenose · Jan 13, 2013, 11:53 PM

I hate the AMD stock cooler my CPU runs too warm for my liking.
Somebody recommended H60 to me. Seems a bit pricey, and a lot of people say it's not even that good.

So, which of these would be better?

H60 is the best out of the three. I use one on my 2500K and temperatures are great. The H60 is a very good cooler for the price, especially since it beats out some of the best air coolers.

depending on the airflow of your case the h60 will be better, but the hyper212 does the job pretty damn good from what ive read.

OK I've ordered the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler and an additional case fan.

good choice..,its prety cheap and it works great...would be great for u if ur not OC to much..

For the most part, the Corsair air cooler is a good buy compared to diving into WCing ($$$$). Plus the Corsair seems simple enough to clean out the dust bunnies vs. the others or a few WCing RADs.

Played GTA IV today for quite a while. The computer cubby hole thing in my desk had some warm air coming out, but CPU was never over 29C
