Hey everyone, I'm putting together a PC for my mom as a Mother's Day gift, and I have an Intel i5-11400F from my previous build. I'm looking for cooling solutions and wanted your thoughts. I'm considering either a budget AIO cooler, although I've heard they might not be the best choice, or perhaps a Peerless Assassin model. I'd love to hear any other suggestions and broaden my options for future builds. Thanks in advance for your help!

I honestly think an AIO isn't the best route for the i5-11400F. You might be overdoing it with some cooler options. Something like the Thermalright Assassin King or even the Burst Assassin would do just fine and they come in around $20.
Hey, do you know how to get a little text under your username? I've been searching everywhere!
If you still have the stock cooler, that would actually work perfectly fine for this CPU. It's adequate for what you need unless you're planning on heavy overclocking.
I actually used it in another build, so I'm looking for alternatives.
Cool, I'll check those out, thanks for the tip!
