Hi, fellas!
Recently I changed my old i3-2120 to a brand new i5-4670, and I'd like to buy a new cooler as well
Currently I have an Arctic Freezer Xtreme rev2 on it, the temps are fine, about 30c idle and 45-48c playing Watch Dogs, but it's two years old now and the fan's bearing is starting to get loud and vibrating slightly, AAAAND it has a unique shaped frame which makes it impossible to swap another fan into it, so I feel more comfortable by buying a nice new one
My budget is a little tight at the moment, so I've been eyeballing a Be quiet! Dark Rock 3. It looks simply amazing, and it has a replaceable fan-design, but I'm not sure the cooling block would be enough for my new CPU (I'm not planning to overclock it or anything, I just like my PC nice and quiet while gaming)
So, what do you guys say?
Can a cooler like this one for only 90 bucks be enough?
