Right now i have a c2d with a stock cooler, i am looking for a cpu hs under $50 i came across this coolermaster, im just wondering if its any good? if any of you have it.
also i have a nzxt trinity and i was wondering if it would fit in my case lol.


Hi. You should check out newegg reviews and if you live in the US maybe even buy it from there as there cheaper..

As for the cooler i been very happy with it for my AMD3800 x2 never seen it over 45c in a room temp of 95f ( summer time ). and does a fair good job of cooling other parts down too in fact the north side of the mobo. In winter CPU never passes 31c all though room temp is about 68F.

Word of warning you should take note that it could be too heavy for your mobo. All though i am glad i got it and don't even need the fans on it just one on the side of the case.

EDIT: How ever depending what kind of overclock you can get on your CPU there might be a better one like the one in my system specs.
 
My buddy got one when they were free after MIR on newegg. It's not the best in the world, but it does it's job fairly well. He a couple Coolermaster low rpm fans on it and has been happy with it. It also turns your motherboard into a coffe table when turned upsidedown!
 
hahaha yeah its huuge
