Help with CPU Cooling

[nathanhd123]

First of all, the case I'm using is the NZXT Source 210 Elite along with Kingston Beast RAM so space is probably going to be a problem. 

 

I am currently using the stock AMD cooler but am finding it WAY too noisy (particularly when playing games) to keep using it so have decided I need a new cooler.

 

Due to my space limitations I was looking at the H80i but it seems to be ridiculously priced, noisy and have only a slight increase in performance over most air cooling. So what do you people think I should be looking at with a budget of around £70?

You could buy a water cooler from corsair

buy a h100 or an h80i+

Is the H80i worth the price because from what I've heard it's noisy and doesn't have great performance?

[denestmor3]

The performance is great you could watch some video's about it at the linustechtips channel but if it it's noise I don't know

the stock H80 is worth the performance as are the high-end air-coolers. but there is a caveat.

sound-level performance of the H80 is not good. you can: purchase lower noise fans at the

possible cost of temperatures or stay on a high-end air-cooler (NH-D14, PH-TC14PE, Silver Arrow)

for the same cost of a stock H80.. just some insight.

The NH-D14 is probably too big for my case. I think that noise will be my main concern, I know that I can always get some Noctua fans for the H80i but this seems like a very expensive option, what are my other options?
