Default New cpu cooler desperatly needed
Well the xigmatek dark knight may be out of the picture here because I can't get it anywhere near me, I am just wondering is there any other option near the 40-50dollar range. Any good suggestions. I am mostly looking for 120mm fan and retention brackets.

like this is a computer store near me and this is a type that he has. Is this good
