Spec me a cpu cooler

[Slackjaw190]

Hi,

I am looking for a cpu cooler which will fit in Cooler Master Silencio RC-550 Silent Tower Case. Therefore it can be no higher than 154mm (originally wanted a Silver Arrow but I dont think it will fit, 160mm) . It must be as silent as possible and good for cooling a overclocked 2500k.

I am also not that keen on the liquid coolers and I dont want to spend more than £55.

Thanks

The Gelid seems to fit the bill, installed one in my par tens PC last week:

Thanks for the quick reply.

tbh i skipped coolers like this becuase they seem cheap... However I wont be overclocking the chip to within an inch of its life so a degree here or there wont matter. Therefore this cooler seems ideal for me and its £30 cheaper than the Silver Arrow (which I think would have fitted with a bit of bodging).

SOLD
