    Not sure if I understand but you're asking what to use to cool your CPU and GPU?

    For CPU, the top dog for conventional air cooling is pretty much the NH-D14. The closed loop systems from Antec and Corsair are shit, don't buy them. You're better off going with a high end air cooler. Or better yet just go with a real water cooling kit. The Rasa XSPC kits are great, and pretty affordable ($150 for the 240 rad kit if I remember right)

    For GPU cooling you're going to have to give me more details. I can't suggest a cooler if I don't know what GPU you have.

    What's wrong with the stock cooling? Water cooling a mid ranged video card is like putting really sexy rims on a beater... by the time you're done paying for a water block + rads etc you could have bought a 580.

    Stock cooler doesnt do shit, i get 80C+ on some higher spec games... And i dont need water cooling, some air one is enough, just need to know which one is best and cheapest.

    In the CPU cooling world, 8c is a HUGE difference lol, NH-D14 is definitely worth the price imo.


    That's not unacceptable... my GTX 480 gets up to 93c during intense gaming sessions and it is fine. Nvidia cards just run hot, plain and simple. Your card is rated to run up to like 100c, and you're nowhere near that mark. I don't know of any aftermarket coolers designed for the GTX 560 because as I said, it's like putting sexy rims on a beater... Pretty much your only option that I personally know of (and I did try searching up a bit for you) would be to get a waterblock and watercool it, but people would probably laugh at a watercooled 560 lol.

    Yeah it is for some people, but some 8c doesn't warrant the extra $40 or w/e.

    If your aren't OCing the 212+ is perfect.



    Semi wrong about the temps, the 480 is a very hot card, the 560 should be very cool, cos from what I've heard it runs a lot like the 460 which is a very cool running card compared to the rest of the 4** series.


    Also, if you wish to remove the heatsink of your 560 and stuff;

    Still though Fermi is just hot in general. Just looked up the 560 in particular and it's good for 99c. A quick Google search revealed tons of people having temps of above 90c with that specific card so I don't think it's an issue with his card/cooling. Most likely he just has terrible airflow, resulting in shitty temps. The people quoting like 65c at full load probably just have really awesome airflow/non-reference cards.

    Also I'd assume anyone interested in an aftermarket cooler for their CPU would be interested in overclocking. Even the Hyper 212+ is overkill if you're just going to let your CPU sit at stock clocks. With that 8c overhead you can probably squeeze out at least like 300MHz extra.. pretty significant imo. I didn't mean to imply the 212+ isn't relevant or something, just that the NH-D14 is pretty much the best air cooler out there, and if you're gonna be overclocking that extra $40 goes a long way.

    @OP if you really feel like your temps are bad enough to warrant an aftermarket cooler then the cooler Noodles suggested is probably the best you're gonna find aside from water cooling. Fair warning though it's pretty massive. It would dwarf my GTX 480 and it's like 2.5 inches longer than your 560/probably a good bit taller as well. Make sure your case has sufficient room for it and also be sure that you have room on your motherboard because it does take up 3 expansion slots with that cooler added.
