Replacing the stock cooler on an Intel E2220 CPU
Posted: Thu Apr 25, 2013 7:16 am
Hey guys!
The stock cooler on my Intel E2220 has gotten noisier over the years so I'd like to buy a new cooler that, hopefully, will last me a long time as well as will be as silent as possible.
Now, I don't understand much about computers. But I know I have an Intel E2220 CPU which consumes 65W max. a micro ATX motherboard named ASUS P5KPL-AM-SE and a compact tower (also micro ATX???) Asus Vento m2. The computer's power supply resides a few millimeters above the CPU and there's overall a few millimeters around the stock Intel cooler to spare.
With all that being said and a long evening of Googling I found this cooler that *perhaps* is what I need: Artic Alpine 11 Plus. I haven't even checked its dimensions yet.
Given that you guys are super knowledgeable about silent coolers and you guys seem to have a lot of experience with the different combinations of mobos, CPUs, etc. I thought that you guys perhaps would be able to give me a bit of advice on different cooler possibilities.
Eventually, I would to keep this relatively inexpensive given the age of the computer (but I value reliability more).
