CPU aircooler budget € 50,-

Leozyo

I have been going through alot of aircoolers last days but i cant figger out what the best one should be considering price/performance. I consider performance (lower temps) more important compared to a lower noise. 

 

I have been looking at:

 

Scythe Mugen 5 PCGH Edition

Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B

Scythe Fuma

be quiet! Dark Rock Advanced C1

be quiet! Dark Rock 3

Noctua NH-U14S 

 

I realize last 3 are slightly above the budget...

 

Can anyone help me pick one of these coolers? Thanks in advance. :)

I would pick Dark Rock 3 because of the better colour scheme, but the Noctua is also a good pick.

They are both silent, but very good performance.

If you're referring to the first rev of the Fuma and not rev B, it's the best performer but isn't as quiet as the others on the list.

The PCGH performs worse due to the lower rpm fans. https://www.nikktech.com/main/articles/pc-hardware/cpu-cooling/cpu-air-coolers/8626-scythe-mugen-5-pcgh-cpu-cooler-review?showall=&start=5
