Good, Cheap, QUIET CPU fan for 3570K

[JackST]

Basically as the title states!
I know people will recommend the 212 EVO but apparently it won't fit in my Fractal Design Coree 1000?
Links would be great! Thanks

Well it fits, really tightly. I thinks it touches the side panel. If you don't want that to happen, get a Cooler Master Hyper TX3. Or a watercooler.

anand says you have 150mm for a hsf

I would suggest either a scythe unit or cooler master gemini of some kind (these are low profile units)

liquid cooling is also an option

Or try a low profile Nocyua coler eg Noctua NH-L12 Low Profile CPU Cooler - 66mm high or Noctua NH-L9i Low Profile (37mm)

noctua is nice but it ain't cheap

I don't intend on overclocking by the way
Will this cooler be very quiet?

 

[i7Baby]

Yes. But the stock cooler should be pretty quiet anyway.

Yes. But the stock cooler should be pretty quiet anyway.

it's quite loud, as are my case fans, which I am also looking to switch out

 

[stickmansam]

Any cheaper budget cooler should be better thant he Intel stock and also quieter

If you're going to OC, you don;t need to spend too much

 

[i7Baby]

The Noctua are going to be the quietest you'll get.

 

[JackST]

ANy suggestions for non overclocking?

 

[Francisco Costa]

Well, for the price of those Noctuas, ($45-60) you can get watercoolers a Corsair H60 ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A0HZMGA/?tag=pcpapi-20 ) or even a Cooler Master Seidon 240M ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103181&cm_re=seidon_240m-_-35-103-181-_-Product ), which cool better and are far more silent

I don't need water cooling, or want to spend that much on a cooler.
Just a cheap cooler that quiet and fits in my case
thanks

I'd say the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 for $20

 

[stickmansam]

get one of the CM Gemini or Scythe Low profile Coolers I mentioned

The TX3 is also a good option

 

[JackST]

I think I'll go for the TX3 then thanks!

One more question though, is it possible to put a fan on each side of the cooler? And would I see any improvement from doing that?
thanks

 

[stickmansam]

not sure about the TX3 but generally, push pull might net you 2-3c

Worth it?

 

[stickmansam]

depends how your ends up being I guess

I run an h80i which is 2 fans default and I ran my old h60 push pull as well

I'm opting for noise level so I guess i'll stick with one.
Thanks for your help
