Cpu Cooler Help.

FireFox · Jan 31, 2015

Hi there.

I am Running an AMD FX 6300 Hexa-Core Processor 3.5GHz Socket AM3+ with the Cooler stock, I would like to upgrade that Cooler, could someone suggest me a good Cooler for that Processor?

Plus i need some suggestions about VRM Heatsinks for this Motherboard:
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB.
Are those here ok, or is there VRM for this Motherboard?

I'll +1 for the Lucifer. Had one on a 3930k OC'ed to 4.3 GHz running Bionic, temps stayed between 70-80'c. If it will handle an 4.3GHz 3930k running Bionic, a FX6300 will be no problem for it.

What about the Cooler Master Hyper 612?

Okay so ignoring won't get you anywhere, just saying.

I used to have a FX-6300 and the stock cooler was perfectly fine. A Hyper 212 is enough for that chip to have a 400-800mhz overclock. The Lucifer is MORE than enough for that CPU.

There isn't really any other coolers that'll fit the bill. That CPU is cheap with no sense of putting a cooler worth more than $90 on it.

Thanks for the quick reply, I will see which one looks better

Btw it will be after I come back from Holiday.

And what about the VRM Heatsinks?

Toothless · Jan 31, 2015

Put a small 80mm fan there blowing on the VRM heatsinks. I'll post a picture when I can of my old setup.

Stock cooler. VRM cooler, and back case fan. Temps were very good all around.

FireFox · Jan 31, 2015

ok, thanks a lot for the advices.

@Toothless I have one more question,
Do you know why Core Temp is causing my my new pc reboot?

Cheers.

I never used CoreTemp on my AMD rigs. It was SpeedFan and Speccy, sometimes AIDA. The only AMD rigs that I had temp issues with was my laptop and it was either loud fan or quiet fan.

Your specs say liquid cooling while the Lucifer is air cooling. Either your specs are off or you're just being rude and ignorant about liquid/air cooling differences.

Those little heatsinks are great for VRM chips!

You are comparing a liquid cooler to an air cooler. An AMD processor compared to an Intel processor. Your argument is invalid.

rtwjunkie · Jan 31, 2015

Yes, the copper ones in the picture. I used them on the VRM's of a Socket 775 MB that only had 3 phases, which if you remember, trying to overclock with that few phases was suicide. Result? I was able to overclock almost to the cpu limits.

how are fixed to the VRM?

They come with adhesive tape pieces.

Hyper 212 Evo kicks ass. If you wont oc too high (probably wont because of the high vrm temps) you dont need more than the hyper 212. I have it on a stock fx-6100 and temps never go above 54 c
