Hello all, before I ask my question keep in mind im a complete noob when it comes to knowing about cpu fans and such so thanks in advance for the help :)  .

So I finished my first build back in December and have been running the stock cpu fan my i5-3570k came with ever since. Problem is I want to change that now because the noise level has annoyed me.

I was wondering if i'd be able to get a decent CPU fan for under $15 in the mean time, but something quiet and able to keep it cool. Later i'd upgrade to something more expensive. I just can't take the noise lol.

these are just some fans I saw within my budget but like I said I have no idea, if you know of any other CPU fans please go ahead and suggest. Altho I'm kinda hoping the red rosewill fan is good since it matches my build, can't be choosy though. XD

Thanks, I don't mean to be a pain but would there be maybe a second choice you would suggest from newegg within the budget. Since ill be purchasing something else as well from newegg all together? :)

I am sorry but there is nothing else on newegg for that price range. I would suggest you now to get this

and do not worry about buying another one in the future. It doesn't make sense to buy now one for $15 and then spend $30-$40 latter for a new and better one. Get the whole package for $35 now and it will serve you well in the future, even if you will be doing some overclocking
