Since the summer heat has already hit I'm looking for a budget cooler that will keep a Phenom II 1090t under control. At default speed the stock heatsink does an ok job but it can reach 7000+ RPM while only playing League and I'm afraid it will take off if I fire up anything more intense.
My case is a janky, cheap one, but I've been eyeballing the FSP CMT210 for a while which has a max cooler height of 160mm. I don't mind running the current one with the side pannel off untill I save up some cash to replace it.
Deepcool Gammax 400 - 24.7$
Be quiet! Pure Rock - 36.5$
CM Hyper 212x - 37$ (Less than 2$ more than the EVO)
Antec C400 - 38.62$
CM Hyper 412S - 40$
I've seen the Pure Rock beat the 212 in benchmarks and the 412S is a tall one so I'm sure those aren't the best of choices but decided to include them anyway. I'm not a big overclocker but I'm hoping to be able to run the old man at atleast 3.6 GHz.
