Hi everyone, I'm using an ASUS M M51BC-IT007S with a 3,3GHz processor and aim to boost it to 4/4.2GHz for better FPS in CSGO. What cooler would you recommend that fits well in my case? Thanks.
I don't recall the exact boost count, but the FX8300 will reach 4.2GHz as needed (it'll be between 2-4 cores, I'm sure)....
I think CSGO won't gain much from more than 4 cores at a higher clock speed. At least not significantly.
Still, there aren't any detailed teardowns available for that system... cooling height will be a key factor. It would be wise to check the clearance between the board PCB and side panel to see what space you have for a cooler.
"Budget" choices such as a 212 EVO or Cryorig H7 seem reasonable - but I wouldn't spend much more than $25-$35 on an FX-based platform.

"Budget" choices like a 212 EVO or Cryorig H7 would work well within your budget—don't exceed $25-$35 on an FX platform.
Thanks for your reply

Barty1884 shared his thoughts on the boost settings. He mentioned the FX8300 will reach 4.2GHz, likely with 2 to 4 cores, though he wasn't certain. He doubted CSGO would gain much from more than 4 cores at a higher frequency. He also noted that there aren’t many real teardowns available, and cooler height should be a key factor. For budget builds, models like the 212 EVO or Cryorig H7 seem reasonable. He advised staying within the $25 to $35 budget for an FX platform. Thanks for your reply.
Thanks for your response.
I'm considering switching from 3.6 to 4.2 turbo. Would my stock cooler manage it?
The stock cooler is adequate for "stock" tasks, which involve turbo up to 4.2GHz on certain cores (though not all). It will be noisy and slightly warmer, but it's safe. Try it out first. If it feels too warm or loud, check your space and consider a budget aftermarket option.
