Hi all,
I'm looking into a suitable replacement cooler for my ageing Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme cooler, which saw me through my Phenom II days well but isn't quite up to the task for my new FX 8320, though it's hardly bad either.
I'm looking for a sub £65 air cooler, with ideally the best performance/cost ratio. Of course, there's no point in me replacing the cooler with a new one if it doesn't do a better job, so I'm looking for something which will perform gorgeously. RAM clearance isn't an issue for me.
As an additional note, I only use very quiet and slow RPM fans, as I'm a quiet PC lover, so I'm not going to be pairing any cooler with anything that's insanely loud or which doesn't have a near silent setting.
My current frame of reference are the reviews on HardOCP, as they have price/performance ratios, which lead me towards something perhaps like the Scythe Mugen 4.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and apologies if this post is a little rambling as my brain is insanely sleepy right now.
