Looking for a temporary replacement for the stock cooler for my i5-2500 since it does get quite hot under use after 3 years of everyday usage. It will eventually be replaced with a H100i or something similar with a different processor so I don't want anything too expensive. Was looking at this:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Raijintek Aidos Direct Contact CPU Cooler £14.99
Total : £20.96 (includes shipping : £4.98).



Seems like the most efficient one to go for. Thoughts?

It's a decent little cooler. I used one in the sister in laws build I did for her back in February. It only has a G3220 Haswell Pentium under it but leaving IBT running saw the temperature max out at 44 degrees. One thing to be careful with though are the fins. They are extremely easy to damage and mine turned up with a load of bent and dented fins (the pakaging just isn't good enough) and took well over a hour of fettling to get them sorted. Be careful with them when attaching the fan too.
