this:
Corsair CAF A70 Air Cooler For CPU

and this:
Cooler Master V6 GT CPU Cooler

Noctua's are better & efficient, go with it.

IMO Corsair H50 is not a bad option too.

Cost 3.9k in theitwares, but its cheap in local stores.

He doesn't want liquid cooling.
Otherwise I would have told him to go with Cooler Master V10.

Not very awesome IMO. But I maybe wrong.

V6 gt is pretty cool
thats for sure

not sure about CAF A70 coz reviews are very few

But Hyper 212+, at low price, is complete paisa vasool.

He could also choose between Noctua NH-D14 and Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B.
I'd go with the second one because, being smaller, it does not present any issues with bigger RAM sticks, and is the best air-cooler in the world, only matched by Thermalright Venomous X.

Everywhere I read that Thermalright Silver Arrow is the best.

Unfortunately no idea where I can get one of these. Contacted Primeabgb no reply
Oh and by the way, I was roaming G C Avenue today and found only one shop that had the P8P67 and DEluxe on its windows. No PRO. And Vedant said they didn't have the i5 2500 series. This is what I call being behind times. Guess I'll have to go to Mumbai after exams to buy the stuff.

Hope this helps...

Thanks.

nothing beats Noctua NH-U12P SE2 at that price.
and get a cm 690 II advanced (transparent side panel) for cabby.

consider buying a Thermaltake Venomous X, but you gonna require two powerful fans for push pull config.
Consider if you can increase your budget, otherwise go with Noctua NH-U12p SE2.

Note: If you are buying from bangalore, then forget noctua, none of the dealer heard about that name first of all. : My experience with Bangalore Dealers from S.P Road to Indranagar Binary World.

 

[slashragnarok]

^^ I'm from Kolkata but probably gonna buy from Mumbai since Kolkata market is still busy with selling outdated stock.

 

[d3p]

theitwares selling Noctua & but my suggestion have a check in your locals & See their reaction. I know its a waste to check but just for fun have a check.......

 

[slashragnarok]

I did check. All they stock is Cooler master.

 

[d3p]

because they provide lot of profit margins starts from distributors to resellers.

 

[slashragnarok]

I think I like the Venomous X. It has room for accessing RAM slots, if I choose to add RAM later.

Coz they are like that, but only the one problem with them is you make sure the next upgrade in your PC will be 2 X 120mm 2000RPM Fans for Push Pull. Otherwise they are Sexy & Silent killers..

 

[slashragnarok]

^^ Sorry but I didn't get you.

Well I think if you want an Air Cooler then Hyper 212+ is not a bad option and spending more for an Air cooler is not a smart decision, if you have budget up to Rs.4000 then why Air cooler? Go for H50, Water cooler will beat any Air cooler..

OFF Topic: Anyone knows what's the retail Price of H70? SMC stating Rs.5400, can I get it a bit lesser in shops?

 

[slashragnarok]

^^ good idea but I'm not looking to benchmark. just keep my cpu cool at overclocked speeds.

and no, water is not always cooler than air..
