1155 Heatsink

[jimz360]

Need a heatsink for my 2500k, stock speed just isnt doing it for me anymore, want something cheap'n'cheerfull, been looking at the Coolermaster Hyper 212 and the Corsair A50, anyone else got any suddestions?

Thanks Jim

Whats your budget?

If you're after cheap'n'cheerfull the Coolermaster Hyper 212 fits the bill.

You could also consider the Gelid Tranquillo or the Corsair A50 too.

But at £20 - the Coolermaster 212 fits the cryteria of your original post - it's a cracking cooler at the price and has plenty of positive fourm feedback.

If you can afford the Gelid Tranquillo, I would go with that.

Beat me to it Plec

That Gelid looks pretty good, gonna read a few more reviews, for my budget i suppose i could go to around £26 but would like to keep it cheap, these sandybridge cpu's dont get near as hot as my old Q6700@3500 used to get!

Depends how much the noise bothers you. I have the Tranquillo and it is very quiet, the Hyper 212 will be noisier and cool a little worse, but will do you fine if the noise isn't an issue.

I would go with the Gelid Tranquillo, I don't own it myself but general consensus is that it's a very nice cooler.
