AMD FM1/2/2+ Quiet CPU Coolers
The FM1 socket has been available since 2011 and is dedicated for AMD’s APU (Accelerated Processing Unit). AMD has managed to integrate GPU functions into the CPU, giving it excellent all round performance. The marketing name for these new APUs is AMD Fusion. The FM2 socket is very similar to FM1 therefore you will find that if a CPU cooler fits FM1 it will also fit FM2, and the same goes for FM2+.
As always, if you are still unsure which CPU cooler is right for you, please read our article “How do I choose a CPU cooler?" and remember to check the TDP of your CPU to aid identifying a suitable cooler.

Socket FM1
The table below provides information about each cooler to help you quickly identify the most suitable product for your needs. Each column can be sorted, making it easy to determine a cooler of a certain height or a specific noise level. Please note, AIO water coolers are not shown on this table due to their unique characteristics.

“Non better than Quiet PC”
“I purchased a new PC from Quiet PC recently and I did lots of research before buying from them, there are a lot of companies out there who will build you a custom system but in my opinion Quiet PC is the best. I am very pleased with my purchase, the build standard is very high and the choice of options to configure my chosen system was not only excellent but very well presented and easy to understand. My choice was built and delivered in good time and even better is not full of bloat ware. My review is written after many years of experience, I have been buying PC’s since when they first became available starting with a Viglen and too many Dell’s to mention followed by a couple of Siemans PC’s and then a couple of Toshiba laptops (full of bloat ware!) and finally a PC specialist machine - I only wish I had found Quiet PC years ago.”
