looking for HSF for 775 socket. Has to be screw mount (don't want to flip over the MB)

I am seeking advice for these two but other cheap ( < $15) option is fine too:

Previous had one of these which fan is making loud noise right after 1 year. Could not figure out a way to remove/replace the fan.

1 question first... are you gonna overclock ? What processor?

 

[AirCool]

No overclocking. E4500 C2D. Thanks!

First one has no backplate , so i'd go with that
and should easily keep your present cpu cool and a quiet 92mm 24 db fan.

Apologize in advance. Why do you say there is no backplate? The photo shows one attached I believe.

I'd use this one right here.

Easy to install, no backplates, no nothing.
Quiet and cool.
I have had three or four in some way or another, all excellent.

Yeah sorry i thought they were push pin like in this link

magoo's recommandation would keep your cpu cool thats for sure, tho if u don't oc
might be overkill and if your trying to save money the other cheaper products would work as well.

I have used about a dozen of these, easy install like stock Intel cooler and cost effective

works for CPU's less than 90W TDP

your E4500 has 65W TDP so your in the green!

The problem is I am replacing an existing HSF which had a backplate. My understanding is it will not fit a non-backplate HSF any more. I am not going to went through the trouble taking the motherboard out and remove the backplate so I have to decide base on this limitation.

Is Hydro Bearing quieter or longer lasting? Too bad there is no review on the LOGISYS one.

Not all of those backplates are going to have the same screw thread...and even if you use the bolt-thru kit from your current cooler, there's no saying its gonna fit right and work well with a new cooler.

My $0.02

I bite the bullet and bought the LOGISYS and not only it fits nicely on the existing backplate. It is also cool and quiet. So quiet that I can only hear the P/S fan.

This is not the first time I reuse the backplate, as this is my 3rd HSF on the same M/B. I am glad it fits without issues. Only $10 + tax and free shipping (shoprunner).
