I just installed an Arctic alpine 11 rev. 2 yesterday because I needed a cooler with push pins because my motherboard cut out isn't lined up correctly, and it is performing great. It is quieter than the stock fan and temps are probably about 5c better under load.
lol i gave 25$ for i3 3220 used ,to give 20$ for a cooler just does not seem right.
Just one more question ,when watching youtube videos ,my temp on i3 jumps up to 55 for a second is that ok?
P.S what do you think of Arctic alpine 11?

5c down under load isn't fantastic, but it's technically better than stock by a very slim margin.
I'd still spend extra for the M9i any day, performs far better.
Yeah the m9i is far superior. I just had to get one with push pins and I was looking for quieter more than cooling performance. I had originally bought a cryorig c7 but the way the Asus b150 pro gaming aura lines up with the cutout in the Deepcool tesseract case made it impossible to install the backplate.
