Cooling an AMD FX8320
I have to say i am a big fan of Arctic Cooling fans and i have great results in the past.

I was using a ARTIC Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 CPU Cooler which was rated upto 130watt and my CPU is 125watt and my processor was getting a little hot at around 56*c tops.

I decided to change the cooler so i bought a ARTIC Cooling Freezer 13 CPU Cooler which is rated upto 200watt.

The max under load my cpu now hits is 49*c but usually idles around 43*c baring in mind the ambient temperature of my home is quite warm which i need to keep it that way for health reasons. I have read tho that the AMD FX processors do run hot.

I got it from Ebay and it also included a 4g syringe of Arctic Cooling MX-2 incase i need to apply more thermal compound in the future and all for £21 inc shipping.
