Good Cooler For Cpu

[Krieg1337]

Hey guys,

 

I was just wondering what would be a good Cooler for my CPU(E7300)

The most I would pay is $50. I live in USA.

 

Thanks

I heard xigmatek are good cooler's(run's in the 30-40$ range i think) plus TRUE 120's are nice which are usually around 50.I own a TRUE 120 and im happy with it.

As far as prices go,check out newegg.

Well I have decided I will probably get the OCZ Vendetta 2 http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/ind...oducts_id=23533

 

Now, I have an Asus P5Q Pro, and I was wondering if it would fit without blocking the memory slots(as it said in this review http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/ocz_vendetta_2/5.htm that it might do so)

 

Thanks

The Coolermaster Hyper 212 is a respectable heatsink for a little cheaper.

 

If you want even cheaper than that the Coolermaster TX2 is also great.

It depends on the height of the memory used and how you position the cooler. I positioned it with the fan to the facing the front of the case (Pulling air from behind the CD Drive). With low profile RAM you can stick them in the first slot but High profile ones like Dominator's you need to place them in slots 2 and 4. Hope that helps.

I have a TRUE with really thick scythe fans and I have no issue running high profile ram (ocz reapers to be precise). I mean the ram is like a mm or two away from the fan but I'm not worried. I still get really good temps (and probably are helping to cool the ram at the same time)

The Coolermaster Hyper Z600 is like $27 without add-on fans (passive). But if your concern is about case space, don't bother getting it. I myself added 1 fan to improve cooling but with it on, I have to dismantle the whole thing (motherboard and all) just to remove memory modules. But so I thought, how often will I remove one? OCC gave it a gold and it was on sale in a local shop so I gave it a go.
