I am seeing the temperature of my i7 7700 (non-K) spiking to 80-100 degrees with stock cooler in games(watchdogs, NFS 2) or any heavy tasks. I sent that for RMA, but the servicemen told they have nothing to do, this will remain like this. So I am considering buying an aftermarket cooler. I have chosen some coolers, My intention is to spend the minimum on that. I have chosen these CPU coolers,
Cryorig m9i - 23$
Cryorig H7 - 36$
Cooler master 212X LED - 36$
Coolermaster MA410 - 37$
Deepcool GMMAx 400 - 27.5$.
I have seen in reviews that, the first two ones have only 3-degree Celcius difference in load temperature, so I am kind of disposed to the first one. But I want your expert suggestions.

Delid w/ kraken x62, I was having troubles with my 7700k but the last thing i wanted to-do was delid it(due to the fact it voids factory warranty). I had around 22c better temps when i did it. Also i recommend some good thermal paste ex: Grizzly,Arctic Silver, but if you don't want to spend that much i'd go with Hyper 212 EVO(not on the list but i used one for awhile on my i5 6600k and 6700k) with better thermal paste of course.
