Intel i7 uprated cooler advice

RandomNoob · 1 Feb 2010 at 16:43

Can someone please advise me on a decent cooler for under £40 please.
I was looking at the Akasa Freedom but i'm just not sure.

I'm using an i7 920 1366 and run a small overclock.

Thanks.

Fenrir is a decent cooler but some extra consideration is needed on the direct heat pipe cooler designs when it comes to thermal paste.
Filling in the small grooves then applying a little bead as normal has worked the best for me.
