Hi, im looking for a budget cooler for my q9400. It now runs on the stock cooler i used with my dual core and seems to be overheating. Can someone advice a good cooler that works with socket 775 mobo as well as i-series sockets for the future purpose?
 
Solution
No I did not say that, but, one has to consider their upgrade path, will it work for an I5-6500, sure, will it work for an overclocked I7.. probably not.
are either of these solutions that fit your budget perfect? no, But even single water cooler @ 80$ are not perfect solutions.
does it fulfill your needs now, and in a possible future? yes

Whoa... haven't got such a reply before! You're so witty
Anyway, i wont be overclocking an i7 in the near future... or maybe in the far future.. he he
So i'll go with any one of them
Thanks for the help pal... thanks alot
 
I always get a tube with them, but normally they are pre pasted. (depends on locations sometimes paste is dry and need to be changed)

between the 300 and 400 model 2 things I see the 400 is 10mm taller produces twice the noise levels for same fan speed.
performance reviews seem mix on the 400, but 300 clients seem happy with it.

I don't know this product to be honest, can only base answer on hearsay
