Question CPu cooler recomendations for Core i3-10100F

[Kledgie]

Looking to buy a new CPU cooler for my 65 w i3-10100F. Any recommendations from personal experience would be greatly appreciated!

Any basic 120mm tower is beyond what you need, and you can get these for less an $25 USD.

I'm using a DC Gammaxx 400 v2, on an i5-12400.

This replaced the stock cooler that at 65 watts, was noisy and temps hit ~78C.

With the Gammaxx it was quiet and only hit ~58C at 65 watts.

There is also a tower cooler made by Vetroo that gets pretty high marks for value and performance.

I guess how much are you looking to spend, what are your height constraints, if any, and do you care about looks?

I use one of these on my 12700k with 2 fans and it keeps it under 60c under full load.

Wasteful overkill. He can get this at less than half the price that will easily do the job:

Any of these classic style4 pipe 120mm coolers. Easy to find under $25 USD, will be silent and cool on an i3-10100F.
