Three Budget CPU Coolers Reviewed

We don’t often review entry-level CPU coolers. The last such review was published on our site over five months ago and even that product, the Igloo 5710 Plus Silent from GlacialTech, was not truly entry-level as it cost $34. Not all users want to spend over $35-40 for a non-reference cooler, especially as high cooling efficiency is only demanded by the small category of computer enthusiasts and overclockers. So, today we are going to target the larger user category by examining and testing three small and cheap air coolers priced at below $20. These products are manufactured by Cooler Master, Nexus and Scythe.
