    Need a new CPU cooler, Halp!

    I need to buy a new CPU cooler. I currently am using the stock cooler on my FX 8320. It sits about 40-45C idling and can get up to 80C while playing BF4.

    My options atm are either this: https://nz.************.com/part/cool...r-rr212e20pkr2

    or this: https://www.playtech.co.nz/afawcs0139...Specifications

    What would be better for my CPU?

    Just put a cucumber in the pc. It always does the trick. Just remember to change the cucumber every 2 weeks, you don't want worms on your pc now do you.

    Put an Fan next to your Desktop and there. You might wanna remove your outside layer of the case.

    I want a new cooler because the stock cooler makes my PC sound like its going to lift off and go into space.

    I literally don't know much about computer parts. So what I do, instead of asking people to do my shopping for me, is to look up reviews on the items that I'm interested in buying. I compare them and then get the one that proves to be the better option.

    TL;DR
    Stop being a lazy cunt and do your own research.

    I've been doing that. I just want other peoples opinions on what they'd get and reviews if they've used them before. I want the reassurance that I've chosen good parts for good prices.

    I've researched a few for a new Gaming PC I'm going to build soon.

    The one I'm probably going to use is this one: NZXT Respire T20 CPU Cooler

    It's pretty cheap but apparently it does a good job of keeping the CPU cool.
