My $4 used CPU cooler from a Phoenix swap meet dropped temps 22 degrees and I almost cried
I was about to spend $90 on a new AIO because my hand-me-down rig was hitting 91C under load, but a guy at the Mesa flea market sold me a dusty Hyper 212 for 4 bucks and after new paste it's running at 69C, so what cheap part did you almost overspend on before finding the obvious fix?
