Cooling an I7 2600k

[tah jones]

So I popped a hole in my current 120mm Liquid cooling radiator when I was cleaning my PC and putting new fans on. Fortunately enough the alcohol scented liquid that poured out did not destroy my video cards or anything else. I put the computer on the next day to test it and the CPU was running at like 95C when it usually idled at around 25C. Yesterday I ordered a 240mm Seidon liquid cooling system from newegg but the order just got cancelled and I am currently waiting in line for live chat as I type this post. I am wondering if I could do better with my 80 dollars than the Seidon 240mm and if so could you post me the links to some better and possibly cheaper alternatives.

it is fine, if you want a good 240 or 280 MM rad i would get an NZXT Kraken, Cooler master Nepton, or Corsair H series, 20 bucks more but worth it

Get a cheap but beat cooler for Intel processors:
Cooler master hyper 212 Evo

It works with AMD then why not for Intel as Intel don't heat a lot.
Don't forget to select the best answer 😀

Hey sorry was still in live chat with the people at newegg lol I know its probably a stupid question but is there any scenario in which a cooler such as the evo 212 would ever beat a liquid cooler? Also I'm not sure if the 280mm would fit but I will take a look now. Rocking your links don't take me to an item they go to the homepage is that working for anyone else? And to add another question because I clearly don't know my stuff, do I have to physically remove my CPU to installed the cooling with the paste and all that because I noticed some come with mounting brackets that slip through the backside of the chip.
