CPU Cooler

[Player]

Hey all,

My processor has been getting pretty hot recently, 40-45 C idle 60-65 C under load. I'm thinking of getting a new cooler. What's a decent cooler that I could get for under/around 20£ (inc vat and delivery).

My current CPU is a Pentium D 930 (3 GHz) with the stock HSF.

The temps at the moment are not that bad so I would only cash out for the cooler if the gains would be significant, reduction in heat and noise.

Looking around these two seem pretty good:

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

What do people recommend?


Cheers
