Recommendation for a new heat sink for a kinda old cpu
Hi,
I'm running a Gigabyte P55A-UD3P Mobo with Intel i5 core chip (stock settings) on an LGA 1156 socket. I assembled this system in mid 2010 and it's still running fine with me but the stock intel cooler's fan starts to drive me nuts by speeding up and slowing down a lot and this became very noticeable than ever before in previous years so I'm not sure why this is happening but I believe that it's degrading in performance so I believe it's time for another cooler may be.
I'm so far tempted to buy the cooler master Hyper Evo (COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1366/1155 and AMD FM1/FM2/AM3+ - Newegg.com) just because it has 5 eggs and around 2700 reviews but I'm not sure if this one is actually good for my setup or there's a more updated cooler of this company or there's even a more popular one out there that I don't know even about.
Shall I go with this one or there are more coolers to think about than this one?. I'm focusing more on effective air cooling + very low sound levels (My budget can go up till 40$)
cheers
