Hey

I'm going to make a gaming computer with an i5 2500K in it and I would like to do some overclocking. I have allocated about £25 towards the CPU cooler, so I just wanta know what CPU cooler you guys would recommend to me on that budget.

Thanks

Slightly over budget but a decent cooler, I've had 1 for about a year and never had any problems, Keeps a 2500k at 4.6ghz well under 70c at load, Usually about 60c and my case has poor airflow.

thanks for the quick replies guys, I've looked at the fans you have recommended and will think about it, they are both very good

The gaia is quieter and is better performing, I researched them both in depth before making my choice.
