Best stock cooler for my AMD Phenom x6

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
Bearing in mind i have an Atec 300 gaming case, it's not big so i cant fit a d14 in.


I need sugguestions of a stock cooler which will fit in my case.
post #2 of 17
the stock cooler is the cooler that comes with the processor... i would suggest getting a hyper 212+/evo

Stick with the 212+ since the EVO really wasn't much of an improvement.

OP, since you planned on going in for the DH-14, I assume you have a rather large budget for a cooler?

I just heared it was the best one.

I currently have a Titan TTC-NK85TZ/V2 Fenrir CPU Cooler which im pretty sure is failing ever since i got it.

Why not go water-cooling? Easier to handle than the DH-14 tongue.gif

are you sure it just isnt seated right, coolers cant really fail unless the fan fails, or the cooler is ruined via smashed on the ground ect. i would take the cooler off and re apply the thermalpaste and reseat the cooler.

I'm fairly sure it wont fit in my case.


edit: some extra info

I have 2 fans going into my pc at the front
I have a fan on the back going out and optop going out.

They will, trust me, I own one. The H80 simply mounts to the rear 120mm exhaust You would be surprised what can fit in an Antec 300. With some modding you could even throw an H100 in.
