CPU cooler

[soup]

Am looking for a MUCH quiter CPU cooler than the stock ones trouble is the system is allready in a case which doesn't have room for one of the proper tower coolers and anyway I don't want to pay the price of them (system is decanting from the living room to No 2 son's room he has hyperacusis which basically means he has super-sensitive hearing so as quiet as possible) . Similar price issue for the big C coolers and usuall low profile ones.  So looking for an upgrade which should have a better quality fan so much less noise but still perform well enough in what will be a fairly low demand situation (no OCing, no running the four cores at 99%...).  Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on what I could do? Oh by the way it will be on an FM2+ socket

 

Example only, gets &^%$ reviews :-

TL:DR Opinions on a cheap, low profile, quiet cpu cooler to fit FM2+ required.

Max. 20 dB

Extremely good reviews across the net.  I think this is a good choice.

The Shadow Rock Topflow is fairly cheap, and comes with a pretty good fan

Just a hunch but I think those kinetic coolers will be very costly

I doubt it, not entirely sure how they spin, but from the looks of it, its probably just a motor and a block of aluminum.

Possibly this? I am not very knowledgeable for budget low profile CPU coolers. Just remember, you will most likely only get 2 out of 3 from cheap, quiet, and efficient.

No motor, I THINK (just what I imagine I have not seen one in the flesh)it is the hot air rising that causes the rotor to spin this throws' the air onto the other fins.

 

The block of aluminium is manufactured to VERY tight tolerances as the two surfaces have to move in relation to each other but they have to be close enough to transfer heat.  Manufacuring to VERY tight tolerances = VERY expensive.

Very true.  (As applied to push bikes it is pick two from cheap, light, strong.)

 

As long as it is 'better' than the stock cooler...
