Getting off stock
Need you whiz's to pick me a cooler that will fit in my sig rig
~$100

Cheers

D14 done.

An H70 would be best because of the rear exaust... It's not really watercooling since it's a sealed loop and doesn't require any maintenance. But I think that'd be your best option.

Sythe BIG Shuriken ? Hyper 212+ ?

I'm not familiar with your case tho but both are on the smaller side and reasonably well performing so should do fine in your sig rig. You might want to bolt some more aggressive fan on Sythe perhaps if you want to push that CPU above 3 GHz.

I'm myself atm on Sythe BIG Shuriken (with thermaltake 110 cfm fan cannibalized from Thermaltake FRIO cooler), with the aggressive fan it can keep about 140W CPU at ~65 C in my case (many case fans as well).

h50/60/70/80 any of these wrk great

For $100 you could get:

Coolermaster 212+ or Evo
and Double your ram to:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Which actually works out to be more in the region of $80.

Silver arrow, Nh-d14, H80. I have the less popular Nh c-14 and I love it. I added an extra 140mm noctua fan and it cools like a beast. All are super solid.
I have owned the 212+ also and for 30/35$ it was awesome.

Yes, they are good, I've got mine and I get 4Ghz @1.28v and my CPU tops out at about 80c on prime95 blend and Intel burn test. This is on a single fan as well.

HYper 212+ EVO,$35 and very good.

Interesting. Any reason the H80 over Antec's KUHLER 920?

(By the way if it means anything i have no care for noise)

No not really, I really like corsair, i've had 2 PSU's and 3 sets of memory from them and i've always had great quality equipment, Oh don't forget the case either

.

I've not used that alternative cooler, and corsair designed them in the first place so, the Kuhler920 wasn't released when I got mine

Fair enough, might pick up one of those "Water coolers". Unless that $30 cooler is really that amazing... However (Australian) going into summer and wanting to keep my clocks pretty good without overheating.

The 212 is a great cooler for the price, It's pretty much the best cooler upto the $50 bracket, above that then it's good, but not as good by a fair length.

Ahh ok, thanks. ++

H50/H70/H80 would work very well with your case.

212+ is an excellent choice too..(for its price range)

Why is that may i ask?

(The case statement by the way)

 

[XCII]

I have used the 212+ and can vouch for it. It's great.

Because you have a single exsaust on your case which can take 120mm rad
