my Deepcool alta 7 goes to 98c at full load and the case gets too hot that i can make a omelette on it. :( need less to say there is no airflow issues. i need a cpu fan but i really don't have any money as i just bought this i5 from ebay 2 months back. can anyone recommend me a cpu fan around rs 1000?

I know hyper 202 etc but i really don't think that its necessary and it would be simply overkill even at rs 1800 lowest on respawn.in. If i am wrong then i may at last go here but i want to know other cheaper alternatives cause i am a poor guy. ;) I am ready to buy at any sites except theitwares for their worst customer support.

my specs;-

here are my pc details;-.
Processor:⇒ Intel Core i5-2500
RAM:⇒ Kingston FuryX 8gb DDR3 1866 Mhz
Cpu fan = Deepcool alta 7
Graphics card:⇒Sapphire Radeon R7 265 2GB GDDR5
Thermal paste = Arctic Silver Ceramique Link
PSU = antec vp500pc

My old thread regarding my temps.Link

I just want to keep my cpu under good temps under full load for several hours at high ambient temps like 30-40 sometimes.

 
Solution
You have to measure the height between the top of the CPU (or something on the motherboard that's as high) to the the side of the case; ideally it should be 160 mm or more, but there are no specs for that case other than its external dimensions.

i can find an hyper 212x ecp for that same price. :http://www.respawn.in/cooler-master-hyper-212x.html

anything around rs 1000-1500?
 
Yesterday I didn't find that one, but it really is the best one that you can buy; it will be able to keep your CPU at 80°C or less. It may be expensive for you, but it costs a lot less than an air conditioner to keep your room cool. Is case large enough to install a 159 mm high cooler?

Well thats the question for me now. I have an circle cc 512 case. (a local one) well its full atx case.

My mobo is small , but i just use 1 ram slot so i think it will fit inside. i have a huge r7 265 dual x fitting perfectly with 2-5 cm front space avaialable so i think it will fit but still can anyone tell that it might fit or not ?

Admirable
CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 will be more than enough to keep i5 2500 cool and in safe temps, it also have easy mounting same as Intel stock cooler so you wont need to pull motherboard from case to install it.
Almost any cheap tower cooler will do a good job keeping that i5 in much lower temps than your current one.

i have 2 case fans right now.. I have replaced the old one that came with cooler master one worth rs 200 something at deal and the back one with circle red led 120mm fan which is too big but its screws are problem. made it tight that it doesn't loose as there is no screw grips in the fans. my big r7 265 dual x leaves few cm gaps so i think it will fit in.
