If your not going to overclock, just stick with the stock cooler.

Just out of curiosity why buy the bulldozer? It isn't as good as the Phenom-II black editions...

if you are not overclocking, go for the i5 2300 or 2400

:hello: :hello:


My advise to you would be to go for the liquid cooler, I did that and its worked out just fine for me, I did not do no over clocking or anything, its just peace on your mind knowing that you PC wont die on you.



so go for the liquid then the air cooler as it will keep the temp much lower then a air cooler.
