Hi guys,

Can anyone suggest a decent cooler (nothing thats going to cost me my kidney) for the Quad core 9400 intel 775 processor?

Cooler Master Hyper TX2. Best budget cooler and can install without removing the mobo.

What kind of budget though?

It's for AMD K7.

What kind of OC are you looking to do? Assuming you're OCing.

not overclocking, just trying to improve on the existing Intel fan that it came with, or u reckon i'm wasting money here, the default cooler good enough?

If not overclocking, stock cooler should be fine.

I have a stock fan on my Intel CPU. It's perfectly fine. You can even overclock a little bit without getting any cooling issues.

Yip, stock is perfect for non-OC.

 

[dudleygb]

excellent thanx guys

There's only one brand for cooling - Thermalright. Get the Ultra 120 Extreme.

There was reviews a while ago campared to the stock Intel cooler and guese what, Who was in the top few! Intel. If you clean the CPU and cooler bases properly, add reputable heatpaste like artic silver You cannot go wrong. I use a standard intel cooler and are overclocking my CPU. Never had a problem. Yes It can be better but for now its fine. If you do not plan to do heavy overclocking or want better looks then dont waste your money, else look at the orbs.
