Best $50 CPU Cooler

[Potato825]

I am getting a i5 7600k and i want to get a good cooler so i can OC it a bit. my budget is $50.

There are cheap AIO water coolers for 50 USD
You could also get a cooler master 212 evo. I know Deep-Cool has a few heavy hitting air coolers under 50 as well. Most of the name brand ones in general are decent, as long as they are a tower cooler and have a box fan on them.

You will need to provide your full system's specs since the case, motherboard and ram can cause clearance issues. In rare cases you may need to go with low profile coolers. Regardless, please pass on your specs as:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:

Get the Cryorig H7, all the cooling you'll need, costs $35 and is fantastic for the price.
What's the budget for your rig?

You would complement the build with an NZXT X62 cooler and ofc put some balance into a 1200USD build(aesthetically and cost allocation wise), IMHO that is. Otherwise you're going to be fine with the Cryorig H7 cooler.

Crossfire RX 480s is an awful option.

SLI RX 480s is an awful option.

^ You see Radeons only operate in Crossfire when in multi GPU mode(for AMD) while GTX's only operate in SLI mode(for Nvidia).

Yeah, my bad!
Edited, you get the gist of it.
