nuttyprot · 19 Apr 2011 at 16:35

Need a cooler sub £40

Needs to fit inside
Lancool PC-K62
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-LN

AM3 socket

Would prefer push n pull

If the cooler comes with one fan and has the ability to mount another please spec me fan to go with it.

A Thermaltake Frio should do it.

Any good alternatives.

Is Corsair A70 High-Performance Dual Fan CPU Cooler a good alternative if not any recommendations.

Remember needs to fit in a Lancool PC-K62

I have the smaller brother of the Corsair A70 with just one fan, and all I'll say is if you're buying that I strongly suggest a couple of Apaches to replace the stock fans. They're very loud. I replaced my stock fan with an Apache earlier today, it's dropped my CPU temperature by a degree or so and the volume is a little less than half that of the one that came with the cooler. The whine was driving me round the bend!

should perform a bit better, the cooler you currently have is not a bad cooler, and AM3 sockets dont get crazzy hot really.

if your having problems with heat then a A70 will probly do

the one i suggested is much like a A50

This http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-072-AK&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395 with another one of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-059-AK The HS comes with extra fan attachments so you don't need to buy more. Get a tube of IC Diamond 24 too, works great with the HS.

I know for a fact Thermaltake Frios were going for £36 on another trusted components site, just use google and have a look about. Excellent cooler, if a little loud.

Just wana check it will fit wont it? Case is in the mail so cant measure it.

Thermaltake FRIO IMO, awesome cooler, a little loud, but you can lower the speed manually if you wish. Maybe pre-order or contact overclockers to see when they are going to receive stock.

Yep that's the one I am going to get due back in stock in about 2 weeks.

Still no idea if will fit the case tho lol.

The K62 is big enough, even for the Thermalright Archon I bet.

nuttyprot · 22 Apr 2011 at 00:40

Just want to say thanks

Got my Thermaltake Frio 2day. Idle temps 26-28 load temps not gone above 40 (not bad considering how hot its been today).
