Tbh, the TRUE, Dark Knight or a Mugen 2 are the best options for you, although if you feel spending the little extra grab a watercooling loop, you could fit a 240 rad nicely inside or outside your case!

of coarse it's worth it especially on such a low powered CPU. you'll get lower temps than ANY air OR water cooled alone system can give you

The money spent on a TEC cooler could be used for a better processor lol

And no, it's not always true for air cooling. (Unless you buy processors for $30)

Of cores it is 60$ for a top rang air cooler plus some descent fans.. that's money could be put away for a new CPU.
However buying stand stuff is boring . Everyone loves to push things to the limit and it doesn't matter if its cost efficient.

i suppose it boils down to what he means by "cost effective" If he wants to go TEC he;ll need a top rang air cooler at least so he should just start there and if he still wants more cooling then come back
