Need a new CPU cooler

So my stock amd cooler is really loud!! I am looking for a quiet cooler that performs well. I know the hyper 212 evo will be the first thing everyone will say but I want some alternatives. I am willing to spend around 35-50€. My cpu is an FX 8320 at stock but I am willing to do some overclocking maybe at 4.0GHz no more. 

Thanks

If you don't want a hyper 212 you can go with something like... an h60?

be quiet! Dark Rock?

 

Otherwise, even though you dont want it....the 212 is unbeatable at its price range.

The H60 costs like 70€ here.

 I though about it too but I can only orient it like this

The true spirit doent look good but the HR-02 does, searching for it right now. The arrow is out of my budget.

Its not that I dont want the hyper 212, Its a great cooler but I just wanted to see what alternatives there are

Just found the Enermax ETS-T40. Is it any good? I heard that the enermax fans are super quiet.

The Hyper TX3? :D I don't know. All I know is when you modify it to work with socket 478, take a picture before your damn bracket breaks.

Silverstone Argon AR-01 or AR-03 are great alternatives to the Hyper 212 line.
