Although both Intel and AMD’s CPU stock coolers have come a long way from being a cheap addition that most people would throw away, we all desire something better.
Whether you are a hard-core overclocker, avid gamer, or maybe someone who wants something with a bit more color in your PC build, we PC gamers or enjoyers love our RGB.
Considering the CPU cooler is a large centerpiece in most builds, it would only make sense to get something that is RGB.
With that being said, here is our list of the Best Budget RGB CPU Coolers that you can get right now for $100 or less.
Best Budget RGB CPU Coolers
Some of these coolers are specifically built for a specific CPU so please do your research and check to make sure it is compatible with your machine.
Abkoncore White CPU Cooler 92mm Fan $17.99
Although the Abkoncor is not an RGB cooler that you can control the color with, you do have a rainbow spectrum that rotates colors and gives a pleasant and bright color show.
This CPU Cooler is compatible with LGA1151/1200 and AM4/Ryzen CPU’s, which is important to keep in mind.
I myself have a white build so the sleek white design is definitely welcome here. The fan is a decent 92mm size.
It’s a really simple and easy bracket install system and shouldn’t take any longer than 10-20 minutes to install.

This Thermaltake UX100 claims to be a universal AMD and Intel CPU cooler, although I would definitely double-check to make sure it is compatible with your system.
The cooler has 15 adjustable RGB color settings and has probably one of the easiest installing systems in any cooler I have seen.
The color has incredible colors, as do a lot of Thermaltake products. If you aren’t into extremely vibrant and saturated colors then this CPU is not for you.
If you love the small and vibrant build, you really can’t beat the price.
