CPU cooler for AMD fx 6100

[nerro120]

im looking for a new CPU cooler for my fx 6100, after running stress tests i usually have a 10 degree thermal margin according to AMD overdrive. i currently have the stock fan and i just want one that will be a decent bit better than the stock cooler but not real expensive (maybe $15-$25).
just something that will take better care of my CPU until i can save up the money for a new Intel system. any suggestions?

system specs are:
Case: cooler master 410 or 430?
Mobo: GA-78LMT-S2
cpu: fx-6100 @4.0
Ram: 8gb kingston hyperx black
GPU: sapphire r9 280
PSU: S12II 520 Bronze

can you change the fan orientation on that cooler (raijintek)? i would like to have it blow out of the top or back of my case

the cryorig is better than the 212 evo? could you give an estimate of how much of a difference it would be than the stock cooler?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Big difference.

This will show you.

thats a pretty big difference, i might just pick that one up. is the thermal paste that comes with it good or should i buy a different type?

 

[madmatt30]

The thermal paste with the cryorig is excellent stuff - no need to buy more.

The little aidos will do a great job for $20 though mate , make no mistake.

There is also the themis for $28 which is IMO on a par with the cryorig.
