Cryorig H7. Very good for cooling and has a smallish form factor.

I would go with the Cooler Master 212 EVO. Considered by many to be the best air cooler for the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099&cm_re=212_evo-_-35-103-099-_-Product

35 bucks.

nchu1688 :

I'm sorry, but have you even looked at the link you posted? the Cryorig costs 32,5$.... and the 212 EVO performs better for 2,5$ more..

The cryorig pushes 49CFM at max, while the 212 EVO pushes 82 CFM at max RPM.

so lets get this straight.

You want us to believe you bought a 230$ cpu, 150$ motherboard, 70$ ram, 150$ in storage, 330$ in a gpu, 70$ psu (1000$)

But you're nit picking 2.50$ over a VASTLY superior cooler? Not to mention acting like a child...

A) You're a troll
B) No one should waste more time on you
C) Go do your own research if you're gonna act like that.

@ykki, I unselected your best solution, that was not a great suggestion, Im sorry. Those are the same ball park cost wise and size to the 212 evo and don't even come a little bit close to the same performance.

looks like someones on their period...

No, just happen to know when someone is clearly wasting other peoples time. You're broke, we get it. Nothing wrong with that. Don't lie about "your gear", and then get upset when someone recommends something viable to you.

Themis - cheaper than both,easier to fit ,performs better than both the evo & h7.
Job done.

I understand exactly where jghagerty is coming from - you don't buy an i5 k & expect to drop a sub $20 cooler on it - that's just being silly.

nchu1688 · May 10, 2015

jghaverty :

First off, I'm not broke. Second off, I never said that I actually had these parts. If I was going to build my PC this is what I would get as I have enough for the parts that I listed above. Therefore, you can infer that I'm on a tight budget for my CPU cooler. Lastly, he never said that there was a superior difference. If he said that, then I might have taken that into consideration...

madmatt30 :

Thanks, this is all it took.

nchu1688 · May 10, 2015

madmatt30 :

I understand that, but while looking into newegg, I found some cheap fans for $20

madmatt30 · May 10, 2015

^ you get the odd bargain - the zalman cnps10x optima was $17 last week at ncix & would have been a great buy - its $26 now & the themis once again is a better buy .
Its a proven performer which is why I recommend it a lot.

madmatt30 :

i cant seem to find the themis on pcpartpicker...

madmatt30 · May 10, 2015

That's because partpicker is crap for searches on coolers.

O, didn't know that..
