Hello I have an i5 2400 cpu chip, and am using the stock cooler. My temps are running about 45-55 celsius, I am wondering if an aftermarket cooler will get it to around 30-35 celsius.

I was getting 45-55 when downloading a game. I am even higher right now, and I am not doing anything, running about 55

Yeah it is a good deal for sure, I think I am going to go with the 212 evo since I can mount it without taking my mobo out which would have been a real pain, and so I could use it for a future build if I decide to go that route.

the 212 evo comes with a backplate to put on the back of the motherboard like any other aftermarket cooler, i think you're gonna need to take it out
