Hey everyone,
I just finished my first build, I've managed to get the system up and running with no problems, but I'm finding out that the stock CPU fan that comes with th 3570k is pretty loud even when the CPU is at idle? Does anyone have any suggestions on a quality CPU cooler that is also really quite priced around $50?

Thanks for the suggestion, do you personally own that CPU cooler? I do have a $15 promo card for new egg that I got when I bought my 3570k so that could help lower the cost.
I was looking at the nzxt havik 140. Anyone have any feedback on it? The reviews seem good. How is the noise level?
The Havik 140 is supposed to be a beast of a cooler. I'm not sure how loud it is, but I think I remember Logan saying it was pretty quiet in one of his videos. Another cooler that performs around the same as the Havik 140 is the Cooler Master TPC 812. The Cooler Master V6GT is also a great performer and can often be found on sale for around $40. It performs a degree or two warmer than the TPC 812. The V6GT can get a little loud, but you could always switch the fans out for something else if that becomes too much of a problem.

Thanks for the info, I'll be investing in one of these soon.
