Hey guys! i was looking if i could get some advise on picking out a decent cooler preferably around $50. i dont want to spend to much as i want to try out building a full on water cooled system sometime this year.
What are you planning to do with your processor? If you are just wanting a mid-oc until you go water then 1 fan should be fine for now. It is also highly dependent on your case cooling. Minimal air flow will suffocate the HSF and cause higher temps.
well right now i have an antec 900 v2, but this week i will be ordering a rv02 or the ft02 (if i can justify spending the extra cash).
i only want to get 4.2->.5 so it shouldnt be that harsh on the temps. i think i might be able to do it with the stock cooler but i dont want to chance it.
This. I upgraded from a Hyper 212+ to a TRUE Spirit 120 and the only complaint I have is that the heatsink and fan are so quiet that I can hear my other fans rattling. A great upgrade.
Hyper 212+ Took my cpu to 4.6 1.465 V-ID. at 25 dollars you can start saving your money with the money you save from other coolers. no need to try and get best possible temps if your serious about going water.
