I need a dirt cheap 2011 to last me a few weeks

[PEXON]

As above, I'm after a dirt cheap cooler to keep a 3820 at stock for a few weeks before I get my W/C blocks, I'm after something about £20 as it'll be binned after I've used it, so obviously I'm not going to invest in a H100 if I'm watercooling a month down the line. Thanks peeps.

+1 on the Hyper 212. I had one before replacing it and it was pretty good for the price.

Yup, can't go wrong with this one as a cheep cooler.

Is it 2011 socket compliant?

Is it 2011 socket compliant?

Ah, I forgot about that. I don't think they are bro.

Is it 2011 socket compliant?

The Hyper 212 EVO supports LGA2011, at least the say it does on their website.

Cool, it should be ok because of the 1366 socket compatibility?

Surely any 2011 cooler should be fine to keep cpu at stock temps?

 

[PEXON]

But whats the cheapest?

 

[RedgyK]

Probably either the one you linked, or the stock intel cooler...

i'm in the same boat, when I get my new motherboard/CPU, I will need a cheap air cooler til i get my water cooling bits sorted, I have my eye on the Corsair A-70, it has a $20 mail in rebate.

Tom's did an article a while back showing how to fit it on 2011 and it's performance, it does well enough to hold you a few weeks.

That little Arctic one seems to be a good bet for the cash then.
