Best Budget CPU Coolers under 3000 Rupees in India
A CPU Cooler is a device that keeps your processor temperature in check and prevents it from overheating. Every CPU or processor comes with CPU cooler at the time of purchase. A CPU Cooler is a combination of a heatsink and fan that draws power from your motherboard. OEM or Original Stock CPU Coolers that comes bundled is only good for normal usage and even in some cases they are also not quite effective especially in India where the temperature can go insanely high in summer. And if you are a performance enthusiast, overclocker or a hardcore gamer then you will be requiring a good aftermarket cooler to keep your CPU temperature down.
Here is a complete guide on finding a good aftermarket CPU cooler for your processor:
Advantages of a good Aftermarket CPU Cooler
Here are the advantages of getting a good aftermarket CPU Cooler for your processor.
- Better Cooling

Important Thing To Do Before Installing a CPU Cooler

Generally CPU Coolers do come with the thermal paste applied but you can always buy a better one of your choice if you feel that the pre-applied thermal paste is not good enough. Here are some good and high performance thermal pastes recommended by me.
- Cooler Master V1 IC Value Thermal Compound

Hi i have the antec model which is listed on this site.
I was adding a laptop hard disk for that I was also changing the existing HDD . So I removed the psu
While removing the psu the CPU cooler became loose after re-applying thermal paste in the traditional 1 Dot method i noticed that my pc starts for 1 minute and shuts down . After going to the bios i saw that on idle the temperatures were just jumping and at around 80-85 degrees it shut down
My specs
Intel Pentium 1.80 GHz lga 775
Antec A40
Nvidia Gt710
Corsair’s VS550
1×Wd green 500gb
1×250 gb wd HDD
1×segagate 500gb ( laptop HDD)
1×Asus p5kpl am/ps
1×cd drive
And the thermal paste which I use is also very useless ( Terabyte)
Anyways can you also suggest me which method is good of applying thermal paste ,because the traditional DOT method seems not so good . Please correct me if wrong
Thanks
Forgot to mention i have been using that thermal paste for quite a while and the temperature would be around 65-70 degrees on normal to minimum work load but now it’s 82 degrees approximate on idle as shown in the bios . Earlier i used the spread method to apply thermal paste . I am unable to access windows the pc shuts down at the loading screen sometime the log in screen comes but before I log in the computer shuts down
I prefer three line method. Also make sure that the contact between your CPU and heatsink is tight.
Hi again
Intel core2 quad q8400s *65 watt* 2.66ghz 4mb l2 cache
Or
Intel core2 quad q9450 *95 watt* 2.66ghz 12mb l2 cache
Or
Intel core2 quad q9550 *95 watt* 2.83ghz 12mb l2 cache
Price order
Intel q8400s ≥ intel q9550 ≥ intel q9450
Price difference between above three processors is not more then ₹200~₹500.
Now please tell me your order of preference for these cpu’s!
(Does 95 w is considerable margin more then 95 w in practical life?)
(Is 2.66/2.83ghz make considerable difference in practical life?)
Thanks for your help
More TDP means more heat generation and power consumption, and this means you need a better cooler. What CPU Cooler and PSU do you currently have?
I ordered this cpu fan after reading it’s positive review
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/c2Oxp0xq
For psu
I will use “add2psu” and connect motherboard and gpu(in future not now) with foxin 800watt psu and connect hard drives and dvd drives with Zebronics 450w psu.
I think this setup can handle *95 watt* easily
I think it can handle and my advice is to go for the fastest CPU here which is Q9550.
Ok thanks again
Will go for Q9550.
{Just a suggestion}
Start your YouTube channel,it will help more and also more people will get to know about you!
Bye
Sure..will give it a thought.

Sir, i have I3 12100 cpu with intel fan only. No case fan being used. Mu cpu tem in idle condition is 47 degree celcius & motherboard temp is 45 degree celcius. Is the temp in idle condition healthy or not ? I dont play games, i use desktop for home use. Please reply.
I think it is normal with stock cooler. If you want better temperatures then you have to get a decent aftermarket cooler. In budget range I would suggest Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black CPU Cooler.
