One of my 8350's runs very well with a Xigmatek Dark Knight-Night Hawk w/dual fans. That would be my recommendation for air cooling. ;)

I just looked it up, and that looks beast. For 10 bucks more i'm totally getting one of those :rockout:

Edit: Looks like i can't get it anywhere in Holland, at least not where i want to. I do want a cooler that moves air to the back of the case, so I'm still thinking Arctic A30. Anyone know some more good AM3+ coolers that can be pointed back and are preferably <$50?

i was about to say Thermalright HR-02 Macho pretty cheap and exceedingly performant in € a macho is 45 and other "same performing" cooler are above 70€ also H70 is fine (perf level on par with the H80-H100 and the H80i-H100i are a bit better but more $$$ needed) if you find one on a good deal, just need stock fan swaping. (i've found mine for less than 30$ + 2 Silverstone SSF AP-121 for 5$ each, both fan and cooler in a mint state)

and then: Bitfenix Alchemy 6pin and 8pin red sleeve + NZXT 24pin black sleeve extensions in place (damn my etailer had only those but they are fine)


reversed the airflow of the H70, damn blurry pics and also a displacement from a right part to the left side :D i really need to find a new camera ahah

A couple of weeks ago I upgraded mobo, cpu and SSD :) Planning on a new GPU that I will buy in the US on vacation to save some cash.

I have no idea why this is oriented 90 degrees or the fact the top and bottom have been snipped :(

After checking all the coolers you guys siggested out, and eeing which ones i could actually get my hands on here...

I found out the CM Hyper 212 EVO gets the closest to what most of you suggested here, and it CAN actually blow air to the back of the case.

So i have narrowed my question down considerably: Arctic Freezer A30 or CM Hyper212 Evo?

if i remember well you are planing to go for high OC. in that case 212 evo may limit you a bit.

the problem is the budget so this coolers are too much pricey.

I have the Antec One gaming case, which supposedly fits coolers of up to 155mm tall. i know the 212 evo JUST fits tho, so i estimate it to be more around 160/165. I'll have to do some more looking into this stuff before i did what i did with this Freezer 7 Pro R2(The this looks cool i'll buy it-method), because this only just keeps up with a 400mhz OC(now running on 4.2ghz)

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
After checking all the coolers you guys siggested out, and eeing which ones i could actually get my hands on here...

I found out the CM Hyper 212 EVO gets the closest to what most of you suggested here, and it CAN actually blow air to the back of the case.

So i have narrowed my question down considerably: Arctic Freezer A30 or CM Hyper212 Evo?

well i would still recommende the HR-02 Macho in regard to his price and capacity but if even the cheapest "high performance cooler" it to expensive i dont know :) i wouldnt get a 212Evo or a AF A30 if i intend to OC i used a Hyper Tx3 Evo (wich is under the 212) in a pushpull 92mm configuration and if going CM i would recommend Hyper 412S (or eventualy a Seidon 120V they are pretty cheap for a CWC AIO)

edit i can fit a IFX-14 or the Macho in my Antec NSK3480 :D

if i remember well you are planing to go for high OC. in that case 212 evo may limit you a bit.
have you checked this and this
it shouldnt be so hard to find em in NL

the problem is the budget so this coolers are too much pricey.
i can suggest my thermalright archon but is 170mm tall so you need the right space for thet.
take a look at enermax or deepcool /Alpenföhn ypoora1 xd

I have the Antec One gaming case, which supposedly fits coolers of up to 155mm tall. i know the 212 evo JUST fits tho, so i estimate it to be more around 160/165. I'll have to do some more looking into this stuff before i did what i did with this Freezer 7 Pro R2(The this looks cool i'll buy it-method), because this only just keeps up with a 400mhz OC(now running on 4.2ghz)

well i would still recommende the HR-02 Macho in regard to his price and capacity but if even the cheapest "high performance cooler" it to expensive i dont know :) i wouldnt get a 212Evo or a AF A30 if i intend to OC i used a Hyper Tx3 Evo (wich is under the 212) in a pushpull 92mm configuration and if going CM i would recommend Hyper 412S (or eventualy a Seidon 120V they are pretty cheap for a CWC AIO)

A separate thread should be started to continue this discussion. Please and thank you:)
