something used, like a used Hyper 212 or something. not sure what you can really do with that budget

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

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Maybe a zalman CNPS10??  can't remember the model right now, but if you can't find a used cooler that someone suggests, either something like the zalman, or if you can stretch your budget a bit more, a coolermaster hyper 212 evo/x etc at about $24

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

Your stock cooler.

Normally if @king2969 were using an Intel CPU, I'd have to correct you and call it a Stock Furnace. But I see he has AMD, so the stock cooler is actually decent.

Desktop: KiRaShi-Intel-2022 (i5-12600K, 5060 Ti) Mobile: Moto Razr 50 Ultra (Razr+ 2024) | 30GB CAN+US+MEX $30/month
Laptop: Lenovo Yoga 7i (16") 82UF0015US (i7-12700H, 16GB/2TB RAM/SSD, A370M GPU) Tablet: Lenovo Tab Plus (256GB)
Camera: Canon M6 Mark II | Canon Rebel T1i (500D) | Canon SX280 Music: Spotify Premium (CIRCA '08)

i cant and thx

SilenX Effizio EFZ-92HA3. $18. Not going to do much to help you with an overclocked 4790K, but it can handle a mild overclock on a lower TDP chip nicely. Used it on a G3258 without any problems.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

hb the ZALMAN CNPS10X OPTIMA?

Zalmans, for the most part, aren't worth wasting time on. I have a cheap Zalman downdraft cooler on my HTPC and it's quieter than the stock cooler, but it performs no better.
