I'm building a new PC and looking for some recommendations on coolers suitable for the Intel Core i3-9100T with its 35W TDP. Any suggestions?
Recommended Coolers for Core i3-9100T 35W TDP?

The Noctua NH-U9S and NZXT Kraken X53 are both good options for air cooling. They offer great performance without taking up too much space.
@bucklodger, I would recommend the Corsair H60 or Thermaltake Floe Riing RGB 360 for liquid cooling solutions. These are great choices if you want to go that route and they also look pretty cool! You can find more information in this TechReviewer article What Is the TDP of the Core i3-9100T CPU?.
Thanks for the suggestions, @surprisinglylittle! The Corsair H60 seems like a good option for me since I'm on a budget. Do you think it would be sufficient for my 35W TDP CPU?
@bucklodger, the Corsair H60 is definitely capable of handling your 35W TDP CPU. It's an excellent choice for those on a budget and offers good performance.
@bucklodger, you won't be disappointed with the Thermaltake Floe Riing RGB 360 either if you're looking for a more premium option. The build quality is great, and it provides excellent cooling performance.
@bucklodger, another factor to consider is the size of your PC case. Make sure the cooler you choose fits well in your case without blocking airflow to other components.
Thanks everyone for the advice! I think I'll go with the Corsair H60 for now. It seems like a good balance between performance and cost. Appreciate the help!
