Air cooling for AM3+

[Breadman177]

I'm about to upgrade my computer with the FX-4100 and I would like something that works a little better than the stock cooler. Newegg hasn't seemed to update their site yet and added am3+ to the list of sockets. I'm not sure what is compatible. It also needs to fit in an Antec 300 case.

How much are you able to spend on this? I'd recommend a Corsair H60:

It will easily fit if you have an 120mm fan mount in your case, provided the tubes allow it the reach. I would also suggest some better fans with the H60 if you have a little more budget.

dont recommend the hseries unless its a 80, but thats coming from me seeing diminishing returns from a h50, i think a stack cooler is more efficient, that one is almost half the cost, might be a little louder but that should be ok.
