Hi.

Can anyone recommend a CPU cooling device which gives you a good bank for the buck?

Water cooled, air cooled,etc...? I don't mind as long as it does the job.

Thanks

Hi armornone,

peeing on your cpu.

blends price, watercooling and is easily accessible.

Or, you could also just use stock HS and put a larger better fan on it.

what kind of cpu are you trying to cool and are you worried about noise?

as the Jefe says, fans are cheap.

Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B, as mentioned, is a great choice.

Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus is also an option.

If size is an issue, a Big Shiruken would work well.

Depending on what you use the PC for, and what CPU it is, you could run a Mugen passively, which would be very quiet

Maybe the intel I5 750 or a lower end I7 processor.
