Cheap CPU cooler

[Minibiker]

Hi all

Been looking at the Raijentek LED coolers for £8 on OCUK... Will they fit straight onto my i5 6400 cpu or will I need other mounts etc

Cheers

Almost universally, a cooler will come with any necessary mounting hardware. Certainly try for Intel as their mounting system hasn't changed in nearly 10 years. Sockets 1156, 1155, 1150 and 1151 have identical mounts

That is a lightweight cooler though and right at the limits in terms of heat dissipation for that chips TDP. I would consider your options, unless you have a very cool case and don't stress the CPU often.
