7 -nzxt guardian 921 blue cabinet with 1x 120 mm front fan 1x 120 mm side fan 1x 120 mm rear fan and 1x 120mm top fan (supported for liquid cpu coolant )
8- antec EA-550 Platinum earthwatts series

cpu usage -playing games , watching movies and other stuffs .

the cpu's idle temp is 35 degree Celsius.

with average use temp is 45 to 51 degree Celsius.

while gaming the temp is up to 70 degree Celsius and sometimes reach the critical temp which is 88 degree Celsius.

i need a budget after market cpu cooler in 1.5K Rs - 2.5K Rs to restrict the cpu temp at-least at 80 degree Celsius.

thank you :)
