Best cpu cooler under £20

tintin67 · 2 Sep 2012 at 17:14

I'm upgrading my system gradually (as i'm unemployed) to something that is very basic to most of you & finally got my Antec psu, so I should be covered now. What is the best cpu cooler I can get for under £20 to replace the standard one? Is this fan any good?

My System will be:
Abit KN9S
Athlon 64 X2 5000+
4Gb DDR2 Ram
Nvidia 8600 GTS
Antec VP550P

Any help greatly appreciated.

first of all remove that link, we not allowed to link to competitors on this forum

the Xigmatek Gaia CPU Cooler is pretty decent and its in your budget and will allow some overclocking

It's OK. A small improvement over stock and is silent, even under load.

this looks good for the price too.
