PegaSauze

Hello guys, im looking for a CPU cooler for my  Intel Core i7-479. I would like some recommendations for air coolers that would get the job done and not completely overkill as i`m on a budget.
Thank you!

shadowRock 2, its big, quiet and cool AF

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Gelid GX-7

 

This is an awesome cooler, the seven heatpipes really helps keep the cpu cool. 

 

I had one for 2 years, running an I7 3770k @4.3ghz keeping it under 80c under stress tests like prime95.

 

From what i remember it performs better than the hyper 212 evo.
