Hi, I'm wondering what cpu cooler that works well for around $ 50

 

The cooler is for a Intel Core i7 4790k and i want to be able to max out games without it buring up xD

 

So if i can get some tips what cooler i should use that would be great.

Get an aircooler, watercoolers at that price are complete shit.

 

welcome to the forum btw :)

If you do not OC then the stock cooler will suffice. If you will OC however we will need to know what case you have so we can pick a liquid cooler that fits.

 

Edit: Wait at $50? Go with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. You will want about a $90 if you want liquid cooling.

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
