Top choice for boosting AMD FX-8370 to 4.6GHz.
Top choice for boosting AMD FX-8370 to 4.6GHz.
I'm just getting started with overclocking. I'm aiming to push my FX-8370 to 4.6 GHz for better performance in CPU-heavy games. I'm considering the CM Hyper d92 or Corsair H60 cooling solutions, but I still need to explore more options. I'd like a stylish cooler instead of a bulky one. Also, could you let me know if my current setup can handle this overclock?
I managed to reach 4.7GHz on both my H60 and 212 EVO units with push-pull fans. However, you're looking at a $38 air cooler versus a $65 AIO model. The D92 with its 92mm fans might be sufficient. I haven't used one with such small fans before. Personally, if those were the only options, I'd choose the C60.

If those aren't the only choices, which cooler would you suggest? I like the H60 and its appearance, but I'm unsure about its longevity. I've heard Corsair offers a 5-year warranty on it. Most reviews were mixed, so I wasn't very confident before making a decision.

I also noticed your 212 EVO. Given that it can support my overclock, do you think the H60 provides better cooling or at least comparable performance to the 212 EVO?

I also saw your 212 EVO. Given that it supports my overclock, do you think the H60 performs better or at least matches the 212 EVO?
I've owned both the C60 and 212 EVO. Out of the box they seem quite similar in performance, with the C60 slightly ahead until you add a second fan to the 212 EVO. But the C60 looks more appealing and is simpler to install.
I haven't encountered any problems with either model I've had. I still have one of each in use without issues. A friend built a PC with it and has been running it nonstop for years, even past the time I owned it.

I also noticed your 212 EVO. Since I can confirm it supports my overclock, do you think the H60 cools better or at least as well as the 212 EVO?
I've had both the C60 and the 212 EVO in stock; they perform similarly from my experience, with the C60 slightly better until you add a second fan to the 212 EVO. But the C60 looks better and is easier to install.
I've never encountered any problems with either of the C60s I've used. I still have one of each in operation without issues. A relative of mine built a PC using it and has been running it nonstop for several years now.
Thank you. My final question before closing this thread is, do you know if your motherboard can handle such an overclock?

Thank you for your response. Before finalizing this thread, could you confirm if your motherboard is capable of handling such an overclock? As mentioned earlier, it isn't built for overclocking, so the performance will be subpar and the device might not last long. However, I've done overclocking on other boards with similar issues. You should proceed at your own risk, as we always do when working with overclocking.
