Fan cooler recommended for this cpu

It would help but it's not necessary unless you overclock a lot. I don't overclock and my cpu never heats too much.

If your cooler supports 120mm fans and has a fan bracket, you can use this. It has comparable airflow to a Cooler Master Blade Master or Arctic F12 fan of the same size (about 2 CFM difference) so it should work fine as a CPU heatsink fan.

You will definitely need either high end air Noctua ND-H14 or Corsair H100.Its not so much the over clocking it is the actual rating of 220W TDP. I went with water cooling myself and the AMD FX9590 replacing my FX9370.It is a nice processor and you will enjoy it. Thanks

The bundled fan and heatsink (and thermal paste) are pretty much the bare minimum necessary to get by for "average" computing. It works, but it does not keep the CPU very cool under demanding CPU loads. In fact, I think the CPU runs hotter than necessary even when idling using Intel's bundled fan and heatsink. Good third party fans and heatsinks aren't that expensive and do a significantly better job of keeping the CPU cool. If you're using the computer for "average" uses for a few hours a day and turn it off (or put it to sleep) when finished, you can get away with the stock cooler. If you use the computer for extended periods, for heavy CPU loads (not just games), or you want to overclock the CPU the stock cooler and thermal paste aren't good enough. If you're spending $300 or more on a CPU, spending $30 to $40 on a good cooler is money well spent to ensure the long life of your investment. Don't forget to pick up some really good thermal paste (Arctic Silver) as well. This is the stuff that actively transfers the heat from the CPU to the heatsink, so you'll need the good stuff to ensure maximum heat transfer and heat dissipation and it doesn't cost that much.

I actually had mine in a pretty small, mini-itx build. It stayed reasonably cool during most day-to-day operations with the stock fan, between 35C and 50C--and that's without any other case fans. As long as you aren't doing anything too CPU-intensive, I'd consider the stock fan pretty adequate. Good luck with you build

i already had a fan, but they have plenty on amazon to do the job.make sure you get the arctic silver thermal paste too. this will keep theamd running cooler.

People love to debate this question, but in my professional opinion you want to direct them blowing into the case. Place them so they are blowing across components that generate heat such as the RAM, BIOS & HDD.The best thing I did to improve overall temperature and noise in this case was to upgrade the stock CPU cooler to the Zalman CNPS 8900 Quiet (~$33) which was Tom's Hardware's pick for best low profile CPU cooler. Make sure you look into the specs for your build though, it will not fit for every motherboard depending on MOBO size, RAM position, RAM height, PCI slots etc.

I haven't seen a need to use any additional cooling on the mainboard itself and I've been using it for moderate gaming. Keep good airflow in the case and it'll be fine.

Cooler Master hyper 212 Evo is what I bought for mine. Had great reviews and is reasonably quiet.

Most suitable. It's high static pressure make it perfect for blowing through heat sinks and radiators. Though I wouldn't use the silent adapter for it if you're using it on the 212. I would think you would want the entirety of the fans cooling performance at your disposal when tasked to cool down your CPU.

No fan is required, passive cooling is just fine. I run two of these 24/7/365.25 no issues.Make sure you get an adequate power supply.

Depends how far you intend to push the CPU. These guys run pretty hot, and the stock cooler does a fair job under a moderate load. I went with a Rosewill cooler that was fairly cheap and pushes a lot of air, handles things decently but it's noisy. I've heard of people having really good results with Corsair's liquid coolers, which are of course a bit pricier.

I recommend getting the Alpine 64 Plus, Alpine 64 Pro, or something better. As long as your case size can fit it. The ARCTIC Alpine 64 GT Rev. 2 CPU Cooler here is tiny in size. It's designed for absolute minimal cooling with small sized PCs that will never be overclocked. It's usually better overall to get the bigger heatsink designs.

It includes a fan. If you plan to overclock it at all, buy a better one. If not, the one included should do fine.

All depends what your running in it. Also the avg temp of the air in your space. I haven't installed any extra fans aside from the H100 I use to cool my cpu. So for a basic build you should be fine.
1695922
None, only at 100% fans speed (force set by after market software). You won't hear it under your CPU cooler - be it air or water cooling.

Yes, it comes with an AMD fan/heat sink that works very well. If you plan to overclock, then you should probably look for an after-market set up.
