best cooling for i5 CPU under 50???

UbErN00b · Oct 25, 2012

Any half decent $20 cooler will do, it's a stock chip, no need to spend $50 if you're not overclocking, what's wrong with stock? it will stay below 70c at full load, why spend money on something you don't really need?

I can understand that but just trying to maybe save you a few $$$ and have some better cooling. It is only a HSF after all

Where would you be buying from?

newegg or possibly microcenter.

not unless you can hook me up with one for cheap

Searched like 15 seconds for ya:
"Cooler Master Hyper 212+ Plus - $15 [All his prices included S/H]
Great cooler. Was surprised how cold it kept the 2500k. Comes with everything it came with and box."

~~HOWEVER~~
Why not just use the stock cooler? :wtf:

The chip you are interested in really doesn't need anything beyond the stock cooler. If you are doing this for aesthetics or for noise control, let us know, so we can give you the best answer. I think everyone would be happy to toss in a recommendation, but I don't really see the point of making anyone spend money when it really isn't necessary.
