A good cpu cooler under 30$ ?

[nhatduy1611]

Right now I'm still using the stock intel cooler that came with my i5 4440 and it does it job but sometime it is a bit too loud for me so i'm thinking about getting a cpu cooler. I'm thinking about getting the the Corsair Sp 120 but can't decide if the quiet or the performance edition is better. Also is this a good choice or are there better cpu cooler out there in this price point ?

I know about the 212 evo but in where i live the 212 is twice the price of the sp 120 sadly and i can't really spend that much on a cpu cooler.

Shadow Rock Slim

Performs around the same as a U12S

My recommendation, it's better than the 212 EVO:

The Corsair SP120 is a fan, not a CPU heatsink.

Just going off my understanding that by popular belief the 212 EVO is the undoubted champion, which supposedly is quite outdated.

Hyper 212,clearly!

Ehhh, the Shadow Rock Slim is worth a look at as suggested by @RevoltTrain and @Bubblewhale.

 

Edit:

Yeah I think the Shadow Rock Slim is a better choice, a few degrees cooler than the 212 EVO, all the while smaller, and quieter (it's a be quite! product, what do you expect). AND the fans run at a lower RPM. 

-derp-

So supposedly I found a Dark Rock 2 review instead of a Shadow Rock Slim...

The Hyper 212 EVO is pretty popular because of it's super low price with really good temps. So if you aren't able to get the the Shadow Rock Slim, than it'd probably be your best bet.
