Hello,

does this intel CPU fan has enough TDP(watts) to cool off the i5-2500?

Fan:https://www.amazon.com/Connector-Aluminum-Heatsink-Desktop-Computer/dp/B00NXZN0HY
CPU:https://ark.intel.com/products/52209/Intel-Core-i5-2500-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz

Thank you!

It's loud enough to notice if you're not wearing headphones, however I never hear it when my headphones are on

Any stock processor fan will perform well enough to cool the processor. The only reason to get a different cooler is for noise reasons or to cool an overclocked processor

Edit: I have that identical fan cooling my i5-4590 and it's been working flawlessly for about 3 years now

i want to buy it because, my cpu fan has started to operate at 100% and is making loud noises. I want to test if it is the CPU fans fault or system fault. No way to turn it down also. After my test is successful im gonna get a way better fan.

Thanks!
