my i5 750 is sitting at 80 degrees celsius while gaming, and im getting a new cooler.
I have a choice between the arctic freezer 12 cooler master hyper 103 cooler master tx3 and the be quiet pure rock slim.Which would be the best one to get? im not overclocking or anything just gaming. i think 80 degrees are too much even for this cpu.

from tdp perpective,
hyper 103 is rated for 95w
freezer 12 is rated for 130w
bq pr slim is rated for 120w

so hyper 103 is worst out of the three.

i think freezer 12 give you the best result,
judging by the picture, the fan is not standard, and you have to order from them if they fail.
bq! has a standard 92 mm which can be swapped out for w/e you like.

i5-750 should be okay at 80degC... Intel recommends roughly 75degC for CPU's of that generation (AFAIK) but if the CPU is working fine and presumably has been for what NINE YEARS or something why worry now?

*Why a choice between those coolers anyway? Why not something that would be QUIETER?
(It's not just cooling potential but fan noise)

Make sure whatever cooler you get fits.

Instructions on install/setup:
1) remove old cooler
2) clean off paste with 90% Isopropyl Alcohol (70% is doable but takes longer)
3) if thermal PASTE add a "pea" sized (5mm diameter approx) amount in middle of the CPU

4) if thermal PAD make sure to remove the plastic protector, then
5) place cooler on top.. follow instructions to install
6) setup fan control (preferably using motherboard fan software from motherboard support site)

*for fan software optimize for relatively constant fan RPM in idle/light usage, then adjust so under heavy load it doesn't go past 75degC (for REALISTIC load not stress test like Prime95... if you use HANDBRAKE to convert video adjust at 100% CPU utilization for 5+ minutes)
