    Question Help! Which CPU Cooler to replace Aero 7 Lite?

    Hi all,

    One of the cpu coolers on a pc at work has decided to die this morning. Its a socket A (462) which I know is a bit old now, but need to replace the heatsink and fan. I had previously put on it the coolermaster aero 7 lite. Having trouble finding anywhere that sells coolers for the old processors.

    Anyone let me know of a good cooler for this processor thats not too expensive and one maybe that I can pick up today from a shop? Pc world S or maplins or somewhere. Need to get the pc up and running, lol.


    Thanks v. much in advance.

    If I was buying online I'd pick the Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 3 but I don't think the Coolermaster would be a bad pick if it's available locally (and probably not much is). I've noticed that Maplin, or at least my local one, tends to stock Akasa products and I've been pleased with their Socket A coolers (good value) in the past when building systems for other people.

    You have an odd definition of pretty cheap: £13 for a product that can be bought online for £6.50. I know for a business the difference is nothing compared to the cost of downtime, and you have to factor in p&p, but still it tickles me that PC World have it listed as being a sale item (save £2).

    Glad you're sorted.
