So,I am here. My CPU is heating much on idle (~40°C ambient,CPU:~50°,overheats while gaming)..I want a CPU cooler for the Intel core i5 6500. Easy installation please!And kinda cheap.PLEASE

urboi, it's 50idle 90 load.

90 load is not bad given 40 ambient, and 50 idle makes sense at 40 ambient.

evo 212, would be a good cheap cooler (it used to be near the top of the pile) it might drop you by maybe 10C.

Your idle and gaming isn't too bad but you said it was 90C under load. That's a little bit high considering then comfortable spot should be 85C. A good cpu cooler to go with would be the hyper212 which is under 30$. It will keep your cpu cool and where you want it to be.
