[SOLVED] Hi, I'm looking to get decent cooling for a cheap price, as I am on a very, very tight budget.

Should I go for the DeepCool Gammaxx 300 or the Snowman T4? My CPU is the i7-2600, and my case is the AeroCool Cylon.


Please don't tell me to get a 212 EVO, they're around $50 here.

They're about the same, pick the cheaper one.

Both fine for an old i7 imo.

Thank you!

What is wrong with the stock intel cooler that came with the i5-2600?

Well, I got it from an old HP office PC, so there is no stock cooler, but there is a strange heatsink with one copper heatpipe and no fans.

Are you having a heat problem? Why not leave it be at no cost?

Otherwise, either of what you mentioned would be ok.
