It's like 1c worse off than the 212 EVO. And it's reasonably priced., at $26 You won't be getting anything better at that price tbh.

I own this build and was wondering what you guys recommend for a cooler. It would mostly be to lower the noise and cool a little better for my 4.4GHz overclock (or higher). The case is small so it doesn't fit my spare 212 EVO.

Budget is minimal, I want to keep this computer low cost.

Your case has a clearance up to 140mm for the cpu cooler. The Cryorig M9a is only 125mm, so it will fit no problem. And it's only $26

Cryorig M9i?

not sure if it'll fit your case tho :^/

That is an intel specific cooler, and I don't think 120mm upright coolers will fit. It would have to be a smaller 92mm cooler or a flat 120/140mm cooler.

FUCK

Cryorig C7 or something smaller or better would be your best bet. Probably someone else who could recommend something better but eh.

There's an AMD variant - the M9a. I linked it above.

performs as good as a 212 evo and smaller than other coolers that are compatible with your case (hyper tx3/t2 are bigger and wont give same performance)
