I've been using an old AVC cooler I pulled from an old PC to save money when I built this budget system. It's done a good job cooling my i5 4590. I've not seen it go over 85 degrees when doing a prime95 stress test. However in some demanding games that will heat the CPU this can be annoying because the fan is very loud and is comparable to a vacuum cleaner.
I was thinking about purchasing a budget cooler, however I'm actually worried it's going to be worse than this cooler because the heatsink seems to be quite larger. I'm unsure and need some help.
My question I need answered is, will this make my PC quieter, along with maintaining the same temperatures, or am I better off keeping this until I can get a more expensive cooler. Keeping in mind I will never upgrade to an overclockable CPU on this PC. Another option would to buy a good fan for the same price, would that be better?
This is the heatsink I'm currently using.
