As you guys know I am the hardware google button but ive run into an issue.
I can't decide on what aircooler to get for my cpu:confused:

Ive got R750 to spend on it, i was thinking of getting a coolermaster V8 but its a bit to big for my current case.

Cooler is for a AMD Phenom 9950 Black edition, clocked to 3Ghz
The stock cooler just isn't cutting it anymore
Any advice will be much appreciated:D

Mmmmm will any of those fit on my cpu mate?
Wich 1 would you recommend? I need smething to brng the temps down by at least 10 Degrees.
 
What temps are you running now? If case size is a problem then the Zalman CNPS7700-Cu might be the best option.

It's sits nice and low. It should be much better than the stock cooling you got now. How much better I can't say.

I went water and have never looked back. :)
 
Under load it reaches around 55c, wich is rite on the edge of the safety zone of my cpu.
I was thinking water cooling but then there are other issues, like upgrading to a bigger case ect. I want it to run at around 45c then i'll be happy
 
I really can't say if you'd be able to reach 45. Normally these coolers are 5-10 degrees cooler. But it'll definately be an improvement over stock so I'd go for it.
 
The Coolermaster V8.... :p

But for the case you have get this one. It manages to keep a E6600 @3.4 Ghz running at 55 degrees...... which isn't too bad at all.
 
dude that thing looks like a bloody V8 engine rofl and judging by the size of ur rig that damn Air cooler is huge lol... :p
 
Mmmmmm...I so badly want that V8..Think im gonna take a chance and get it..i'll make it fit..lol!! Its also 1 of the best aircoolers around, only its big brother, the V10 beats it!!

lol.... u might as well fit an airconditioner to it and drop its temp to oh lets say 12ºC then i think you would be sorted for the next time something better comes out hehehehehehehehehehe.... but damn dude i didnt think that air coolers could go any higher/bigger than what they already are :p
