Air Cooler is the same as AIO and Cheaper too

[Meczox_]

For me where i live as an example a good air cooler like Noctua NH-D15 cost 180$ which is way too expensive and an AIO like a NZXT Kraken X73 360mm cost 165$ so for me i will pick the AIO sorry i know this is random but just wanted to put it out there

Noctuas have high end expensive fans, without those, you can cut the price by a lot.

What you want is dual tower heatsinks like dark rock pro 4, CRYORIG R1 ULTIMATE or deepcool assassin 3.

Dark Rock Pro 4 is 149$ USD in my country so only 15$ Cheaper than a NZXT Kraken X73 360mm AIO xD

If you want something cheap.

 

Go to aliexpress and search for "dual tower" or Snowman 6 heatpipes.

That's a 90mm fan and very small dual tower heatsink.

If going for a cheap functional dual tower, Gelid Phantom (Black) is most likely much better. Don't have the numbers, but the fans are 120mm and the heatsink is significantly bigger.

from my experience 90mm heatsink perform not far from 120mm, a little bit noisier, but it's fine. it will work.

I'm just posting some example he wanna go cheap, there are alternatives out there.

MASTERAIR MA612 Stealth ARGB is probably one of the few air cooler options for where i live thats under 100$ it cost only 75$ USD

No, that's not a dual tower cooler, it's a single tower with dual fan.

I know what I meant is that is probably one of the few air coolers in my country that is not too expensive and provides decent cooling

Check out the Frost Commander 140 from Thermalright. They are on Aliexpress. It will give any top end air cooler a serious run for its money. I think I paid 80USD for mine.  About 130CAD.

Well $75 for a single tower IS expensive. It got 2 extra heatpipes, but still a single tower.

The difference compared to 4 heatpipes are not that huge. 2-3c.

The favorite brand in this category is Hyper 212 or Deepcool Gammax 400, most of them are less than $50.

This guy review cheap coolers.
