[SOLVED] Need cheap cooler for i5-750

[Insane Potatoz]

Hello everyone, I'm building a Super budget $150 USD gaming PC and it has a core i5-750 in it. I see that the CPU's TDP is 95 watts, and I have no idea how to cool that for my small budget of $10 for a cooler. Intel stock coolers catch my eye, but I don't think It'd be good enough to last! what should I do? (I'm getting used parts for this build by the way... I also would like an LED on the cooler as looks can sell better, but if that's not possible I'll get LED fans or something.)
Thanks!

If not overclocking the CPU, the stock Intel cooler is sufficient. I am not a fan (no pun intended) of the Intel mounting mechanism. It is too easy to mount properly. However, they last forever once in use.

What is your budget if you were to buy something?

It's about $10... maybe more if the cooler were to have LEDs on it but still cool adequately.

eeee... $20 is a bit much since I spent $10 on the cpu. It’d be cheaper to get a stock cooler and led strips. Really I just want performance of the stick cooler with somebody good looks as well... but if I have room in the budget for that, I might buy it

Just stick with the stock cooler.

Just stick with the stock cooler.

That’s probably what I’ll do
