Cheap CPU cooling - choose a good processor cooler
There are a variety of CPU coolers available, and when you choose one, you must make sure that it is appropriate for your processor. This includes checking if it is compatible with your CPU and checking how loud it is. The noise is measured in decibels (DB), and the decibel scale grows exponentially, which means that for every 10 db you go up, the noise is doubled. As with your hard drive, I will advice you to get the quietest CPU cooler available - but still, keep an eye on the price tag as they vary greatly in price.
Your choice on which CPU cooler to buy also depends on what CPU (or processor) you have bought. Not all CPU coolers fit on top of both Intel and AMD processors, and not all are able to cool the CPU effectively when it runs at full speed. If you do not have a compatible CPU cooler, you face the risk of your CPU overheating, which can end up destroying your CPU.
