What is the best CPU cooler for the i5-750?
I am planing to overclock and wanted to buy an aftermarket CPU cooler as it Intel one is really useless

If you are looking for an air cooler, try the Noctua nh-u12p se2 which is pretty good.

It is available in the dealers section, if i am not mistaken.

Cooler Master is a brand for aftermarket coolers...You can check Hyper N520, Hyper N620 or Hyper 212Plus which are under your budget

How about the one Drakangel suggested on his thread? Is that better then the Coolermaster ones? They look really impressive.

There is too much work involved with the Thermalright MUX 120

and whats its price cant seem to find it in the S.P road thread!

OK so i have narrowed it down to these 2 Thermalright MUX 120 and Noctua nh-u12p se2, which is better? for over all VFM
