I have a non-overclockable i5 4570 on a stock Intel cooler, but the temps reaches about mid to high 30s on idle, and low to high 50s in full load. I'm kind of a temp freak, and would love to see those temps go down maybe at least 5ºC, and better if more. Also, it would be much better if the air cooler comes with an LED fan.
So what budget air cooler has the best balance of performance and looks? And what do you guys suggest?
My budget is around 60 bucks for an air cooler (plus additional fans if necessary.) I have 3 top picks right now.
The Enermax T40-VD, T60-VD, and Cooler Master's legendary Hyper 212. Without a doubt, I know that the 212 has the best performance of the three, but it doesn't come equipped with LED fans. Unless of course, If I can change it to LED ones without the affecting the kickass performance when used with the fans that comes with the box.
