Cheap low-profile CPU cooler for Core i5 4570 in smallish case

TheBlooRay · Nov 17, 2014

Hello chaps!

So, I have a Silverstone GD04 case and have recently purchased a Core i5 4570 as an upgrade. Online reviewers suggest the stock Intel cooler isn't that great. Anyone else using this processor in stuffy cases? Any trouble with temperatures or fan noise? If so, can you suggest a good, low-height cooler, low-noise cooler at a cheap price? The machine is primarily a gamer but will also do some video editing from time to time. The case does come with a few fans but I always worry not to end up frying things inside.

Thanks!

these 2 would be my main choices, low profile (though a disadvantage of this would be that it blows air towards the side of your case rather than the back/ceiling/floor, though some decent case fans will redirect the air well enough), very quiet for air coolers, and are from reputable companies.

Interesting. They seem a bit pricey though. Anything cheaper?

there's also this, a cheaper one with (obviously) lower performance, but still pretty decent, I like Zalman's low profile coolers the best TBH, they have a wide selection at a good range of prices

You can also check these two quite cheap but with good performance & noise ratio:

Both at about 20$
