i wanted to choose a cooler for my cpu for like 15-20$ and came across GAMMAXX 200T, Deepcool, Universal CPU Cooler 95w, which fits for my socket 1155 and i wanted to know if i wont have any problems with it while playing games like: overwatch, Fortnite, Pubg etc. on 50-70 Temperature.
 
Solution
it could be it depends on your bios settings, a easy way of disabling it is going into Power options advanced Power options and set maximum processor state to 99 percent then it will disable turbo mode. or you can check in bios settins Before windows boots if it got option for it. If temperatures is ok you can leave it on though.

xilence l402 cheap option , i used it on many cheap builds and it works good. it use backplate
so you have to attach it under motherboard Before screwing it in.
other options coolermaster tx3 evo, be quiet pure rock slim but the deepcool will probably also be ok.

i tried cooling a xeon e3 1270 which is about same as i7 2600 the other day on stock cooler and it got hot when in turbo mode. that cooler should keep the temp down, disabling turbomode will make it run cooler to.
