i want to get into AIO water cooling for my 8350, currently using 212 evo. @ 4.2 on stock voltage. will this keep me cool? or shall i look at others

hydro idles at 14c never goes over 40c at full load I am using it for my 8150 bulldozer

The evo 212 is one of the best air cpu cooler for its price and performance. The H75 will keep your cpu as cool as the evo, you won't feel a big difference. Now, if you want your computer look pretty cool :) you can buy the Corsair H75, i bought this because i had the amd cpu stock cooler. If you can pay $35 over the price of the evo, go for it.

This one is better than the 212 evo but it is depend on the power supply that you have to support for the liquid cooler the H75 have 2 fan so it cool down your cpu faster. That is my opinion.

8350 is a 125W unlike the 8320e which is a 95W CPU. This cooler is designed for 95W CPU's would not use for your configuration. Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo may be the better solution, be careful it is a big cooler so check for fit.

I did the same thing with the Corsair H80i, and then I replaced my stock case fans (Obsidian Series® 750D) with these - was very pleased with the results. My system is super quiet - and gets superb airflow. Unfortunately, I don't have temperature data to compare with - so I can't honestly say it was a net gain with regard to cooling. The premise for me changing the case fans was simply that I regard Noctua as a best of breed in the world of fans.

I have this board and the 8350. It works with the latest 2 bios updates, but if you want to overclock you need to get water cooling and a 990fx. I have been able to get 4.4 stable oc, but that is not all that great for this chip, and these chips run a lot hotter than the phenoms did.

I have an ASUS Z87PRO with Intel i7 processor and have affixed the Hyper 212 EVO on top as the CPU cooler with no problems. The Hyper 212 EVO can use one or two 120mm fans to cool it. Mine came with 1 fan that I placed to the right of the cooler (if you're looking at it) and it draws air in and pushes it towards the back fan. I bought 2 120mm fans for the front of the case that suck in air and then the Hyper 212 EVO pulls the air through and send it out the case via the rear 120mm fan. It is VERY tight in regards to my memory slots (I have Kingston Hyper RAM) but fits. The fins on the RAM add a bit of width to the memory sticks but it does fit. If you have normal memory with no fins you'll be fine. I guess it depends on your motherboard and the placement of the CPU and memory slots. I bet the engineers thought this out and it would be fine with almost every configuration. Do a quick Google search with you motherboard model and the use of the Hyper 212 EVO if you're a bit hesitant. Long story short: It worked for me. I've added a picture just in case (not the clearest image but note the memory to the right of the cooler and note the space between it and the rear fan if you're thinking of installing a second fan for pull-push).

Thanks for all the answers. I really appreciate them. I'm currently using a hyper 212 evo as many of you have recommended. The temps are really good and I think the hyper 212 evo is really good for me. I'm been using it for about 7 months now and everything is running really good. Thank you guys.

I am using it for gaming with an I7 4790 running at stock speeds. I am just using air cooling with a cooler master 212. Even when running pretty demanding video games and second monitor it is still only hitting mid to high 30's. I think you could probably even play 3d games fine with stock heat sink if you don't mind the noise.

The EVGA mITX 92mm cooler is something I personally used before doing the softmod to Liquid Cooling with the H100i.For its intended purposes, it is a great product. It keeps your computer cool, and the airflow design works well with the Hadron Air, as it was intended to be used in this case. Do keep in mind, it's not meant for overclocking, and may not suit those needs if you are planning to raise the voltage on your processor. Otherwise, it's a great mix!

Most all-in-one coolers are better than low-mid range air cooling. With that comparison if you can afford the Seidon I'd recommend it, but there is nothing wrong with the EVO 212 either. Unless your current CPU is being throttled by heat this cooler won't help on it's own to increase performance. With better cooling you should be able to overclock (advanced) which could potentially help. Make sure that your CPU is even the part that is holding SC2 back. You might be better off investing in a better GPU than a cooler for your CPU if your CPU isn't experiencing heavy load during gameplay.

I had this on my i5-4690k running at stock speeds and it was hitting mid 60s under max load. Unless you are trying to make an ITX build I would highly recommend you just stick with liquid cooling.

Stock cooling will do just fine. I have mine slightly over clocked and no worries. Just make sure you have good air flow through your case.

The heat sink and fan that comes with the processor will keep the it cool. However, it is noisy. I put an FX-8350 in a Silver Stone HTPC LC10-E case. I used a Cooler Master GeminII S524 cooler and heat sink. Very quiet.

The one that comes in the box should probably be adequate, however, I bought a water cooling system for my system. I bought the top-of-the-line Corsair H100i. Keeps my system nice and cool, and I can run heavy duty games with little impact. Highly recommended. Corsair Hydro Series Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H100i

Yeah, it handles it pretty well. I'm running an FX 8320 at 4.55GHz rock solid. I could go higher, but my Hyper 212 Evo can't handle the heat. As for GPU OCing, that's gonna depend on the GPU, and how much juice your power supply can get to it.

I have a Rev1.x board with an FX8350 and haven't had a single problem with it. I had original bought the board prior to the FX release. When the release finally came, I wasn't impressed with the benchmarks and so kept my Phenom II in it. When the 8350 finally came out, I upgraded to it with my original board and its been smooth sailing every since.

Cooler Master hyper 212 Evo is what I bought for mine. Had great reviews and is reasonably quiet.

It may get in the upper 60-70C range, this is by no means a performance cooler, the FX-9XXX series chips were made for liquid cooling, a better option would be a high performance nactua air cooler, or a 120/140mm all in one cooler, AMD ships the 9XXX cards from the factory with water coolers because of the 220w TDP, meaning you have to get a cooler that can dissipate 200+ watts of power and heat. The best bet if you need to fix an immediate problem is to get a super cheap air cooler and underclock then processor to 3.5-4.0ghz, then save up for a liquid cooling setup so you can run the chip how it was meant to run. Sorry for the long question, I just didn't want to see someone burn a chip over an incorrect comment.
