Hardware question

[davieholgate]

Ok, so I couldn't find a forum section regarding hardware.

I have a little problem.

My new CPU AMD FX 6300 runs at 40 DgCelsius IDLE, what CPU fans/coolers do you guys use which are easily acquired for under £50 (82.47 USD)?

Just move this thread if there is a place which I haven't seen.

40c is fine...? I don't see the problem. The question is what are it's load temperatures? If they get to 75 you'll want an external cooler.

Honestly, if it doesn't reach 75 under KSP load don't bother - but here's an awesome air cooler, pretty big though!

my cpu gets about 70 under heavy load, and I am reluctant to play until I get some new fans, thanks for the recommendation!

What temperature is it designed for? Some chips just run hot - my old graphics card preferred around 83 degrees centigrade.

If you need a cooler, go with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. Very nice, and has a good reputation. However, 70 under load is fine.
