So I'm new here, Hi!

 

I signed up so i could get some help from people who have more experience in building pc's than me.

In about 2 weeks i will buy the components for my first ever homebuilt system, i am just not sure what CPU cooler i should buy.

Now before you all start screaming Hyper 212 Evo in my face, i can't.

The reason for me not getting a Hyper 212 Evo is because I am going to use the Aerocool GT advanced White as a case, and the manufactures says that it supports CPU coolers with a height up to 158mm, while the Hyper 212 Evo is 159mm.

 

I live in the Netherlands and will buy all my parts from Afuture.com as they seem to be reliable.

My budget is about €30,- and the CPU socket is the AM3+.

My own choice would probably be the T4, but i want to hear what the pros have to say about this.

 

Thanks in advance,

Dim

I'm not sure how 30 euro converts to USD but the T4 I think would be a fine choice.  In my first build I was going to go with the EVO212 but couldn't for the same reason.  I chose the Noctua NH-D9L instead.  The Noctua is about 15-20 USD more expensive but should be quieter and still have great performance.

Are you sure? I wouldn't put my money on the fact that a 92mm fan would be able to move as much air as a 120mm fan

Would you look at that, it's certainly better that the T4, now what's left for me is to find out the noise difference, but i don't expect it to be big. Thank you.
