Choose between two coolers..

alex3003 · Sep 24, 2014

I recently updated my old motherboard with a modified Xeon E5440. as i posted previously on this forum, i needed to get a decent cooler for it, cause im not happy with how the stock is performing.
Here guys suggested getting a cooler master cooler, but i found its over the budget for me. (i spent only 40$ on this upgrade.. so you get the idea..) so i came up with this two coolers that is inside my budget,

this unknown branded one which i can't find any information on:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-Towers-Heatsink-CPU-Cooler-Fan-for-Intel-LGA775-1155-1156-AMD-AM2-AM2-AM3-/301147438190?pt=US_Computer_Case_Fans&hash=item461dc93c6e

and this Xilence Frozen Fighter cooler, that i can find some reviews on.

so what should i go with? I'm bit afraid to go with Xilence Frozen Fighter cause it resembles the stock cooler visually, so i don't know if it will perform better than it.
and im afraid of buying the unknown one, cause, simply its performance is unknown to me.

so with what should i go with? if there are any other options under 30$, please let me know.

go for coolermaster TX3 or t4, both very cheap and superior in performance.

the problem is bro, cooler master with shipping added costs around 50$+.

im from Sri Lanka, so no other options for me than ebay too.

alex3003 :

Ah,well the first one seems significantly superior then, the second one isn't an upgrade from stock at all.
