Best replacement for stock intel cooler?

[Niko_5]

Ok i have G4560 and stock cooler. I dont like the sound of the stock cooler and would like to replace it. What would be the quietest cooler for G4560. I dont need overkill coolers and expensive ones. Thanks.

Well, if you want to stay on air cooling the noise is totally determined by the fans you use.

What is your budget?

The bigger the fan, the quieter your cooler, look into the Noctua 140mm, if it'll fit in your case.

Something like a cryorig m9i should work well. Noise and performance are on par with the noctua u9s ($56) but only costs $20 at places like amazon and newegg. At full 12v the intel stock cooler runs up to around 50-60dba, the cryorig at max speed runs 41dba. Given that it cools better than the stock intel cooler it most likely won't need to run at full speed so should be even quieter. Less than a 212 evo and smaller.

If you don't mind the size of a large air cooler, the Arctic Freezer i11 would be a good choice (and definitely overkill) for $22 if you are in the US:

For a smaller cooler that does great as a stock replacement, I usually use an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 myself for $19 . The 92 mm fan on this tower cooler does a good job and the heat sink size is much more manageable than the ones on coolers with 120mm or bigger fans.

Good luck!

I'm with synphul, the Cryorig M9i is a terrific value at ~$20.
