I’ve had an unfortunate situation this week - my system went bust. I’ve been forced to use my netbook for a few days which was rather painful. Fortunately, now it is all over, I’m enjoying a no-swap-ever-needed-8-cpu-core system. Enjoining… if you disregard a very noisy cpu cooler which will need changing.

Cool! 8cores ftw. Which CPU is that?
-
@isemenov AMD FX8350 - I've always preferred AMD for some reason :)

Just yesterday my order (day before it) came and I got my other pair of 8GB (total 16GB now) and AMD FX 8350... so same as yours.
My previous CPU was Athlon II 640 what was 4 core 3Ghz (bought used one for 30€) and I used it with official cooler (as before that I had Athlon X2 4000+) and it was noisy as....
So I bought month ago for that quad core CPU a Cooler Master manufactured cheap heatpipe cooler "Hyber 212 Evo" what was only a 34€. http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-evo.html I was little worried that it is not so quiet as more expensive ones on 80-120€ price range.
But once installed (required to deattach motherboard, remove default CPU back support plate) all worries were for vain. As on quad core system the temperatures went below 25C while in idle and in stress (heavy CPU load for hours) below 34C and fan didn't keep any noise.
Now I didn't even think to install default heatsink and fan to FX 8350 but I just installed that 212 EVO.
It does not keep noise, in idle it stay well below 24C and in gaming (few hours) so far what I have managed to push it (not enough with anything!) to 46C only.
That heatsink is huge, it comes with one fan (quiet) and two of them can be attached on it.

@Fri13 Thanks for the post. I'll probably choose the same one. Fortunately, some 10 years ago I decided to invest in a mid-tower Chieftec case so I have room for anything I want to put inside :)

@Fri13 Got the 212 EVO - *huge* but silent :)
