The title says it all i guess. Broke my current cooler while fixing it ;_; can shell around Rs.500. Please suggest some. I won't be overclocking much.

THE INSTALLATION SHOULD BE EASY. THIS IS THE SECOND CPU COOLER THAT I BROKE.

any help?

I believe that 500 is too less for a good quality cooler. Your best bet would be to get some form of stock cooler.

You will have more better options if you increase your budget to around 1.5k.

I use an Antec A40 cooler myself which costs around 1.4k. It is adjustable and supports LGA 1155, 1366 and 775 socket boards.

Deepcool GAMMA ARCHER - Deepcool : Flipkart.com


Deepcool ALTA 9 - Deepcool : Flipkart.com


Deepcool Alta 7 - Deepcool : Flipkart.com


These are barely better than stock, even if you get them.. they will perform just like stock fan

Temps by my previous cooler were fine by me. I dont need a 'better' cooler, I need a 'replacement' for my cooler.

according to the reviews, the alta 7 comes with a 3 pin fan controller, speed is NOT controllable automatically.. check your existing one if it is 3pin or 4 pin

its 4 pin. So will a Alta 7 be a downgrade for me?

Also rijinpk1 suggested Antec A20. I'll try to find it locally if its around 650-700 i'll buy it else Alta 7 is what i'll be going with.

Not a downgrade, its just that the fan will run at full speed all the time, you can consider the other one with the 120 mm fan, it has a 4 pin i think

I am using deepcool alta 7 since about a year in my home pc and its working fine till now..
Yes its 3 pin but it is silent so no problem with lack of speed control...:)
