Hello,

I'm trying to find a good CPU cooler that'll keep my processor at a reasonable temperature (currently, it hits 50/60 - EUFI bios even says it hits 70 sometimes).

I've looked around, the Thermalright HR-02 Macho was recommended to me - however, googling it for a bit gave me doubts if it'll fit in my case, on my motherboard (like blocking a memory slot), etc.

I've also read about the Thermalright Venomous-X, since there are many coolers out there I was looking for some solid input from people here on HardForum.

I have set a maxium budget of 150 euro, I would prefer to spend less.

The specs:

Case: Fractal Design Define r3
Motherboard: Asrock 970 extreme3
CPU: AMD FX8120 (currently using stock AMD cooler that came with it)
MEM: 16GB corsair DDR3.

If you need more specs or if I forgot to mention something, let me know.

Thanks for your time!
 
Good choice going with the h80, crazy to think that 5-6 years ago the though of being able to buy a liquid setup like that would be out of this world.
