New to the site. I recently put together a decent gaming rig and am now researching the most efficient way to maintain low temps all around. I need a CPU cooler for a FX 4100 on an ASUS M5a99x Evo MoBo, and probably additional fans. The dilemma is which to get. Sooo many reviews and data to sift through. I don't want to spend a fortune but I won't go cheap. I have a photo of the case uploaded here, as well as my system specs in my profile, to show what kind of room I have to accommodate the cooler and fans. Thanks read more
