Building my gaming rig with:
-COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Steel, ABS Plastic, Mesh bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
-GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
-AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W
-G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM
-XFX HD-687A-ZNFC Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
Looking to OC my CPU, but conflicted on wether I need to beef up my cooling beyond the stock fan. Case has 2x200mm fans and a 120mm ... some case owners have complained that aftermarket CPU fan/sinks actually hampered the airflow in the machine.
Q1 - Should I invest in a cooling solution or stick with the AMD stock fan?
Q2 - If upgrading, what product would you recommend (not looking to break the bank)?
