H80i GT, not the best, but I have another advantage. Your room temperature affects the CPU a lot, since it can't run colder than the room it is in. I live in Canada and my computer is in the same room I sleep in. It's the only room in my house that I don't use heaters in, even now during winter. The temperature in my room is probably between 17 and 21 Celsius at the moment.

There is a heater in my room... I think I should get a new cooler, and turn my heater down. Do you recommend the one you have or...? I really dont want to spend a whole lot.

Well for the room temperature, make sure you're comfortable. I know I am, but most people would probably like their room temperature to be a couple of degrees hotter. Of course, the lower it is, the better your cooling will be. For the cooler, if it fits in your case, it's a great cooler, in my opinion. It isn't the cheapest and maybe just upgrading to an Evo 212 could make a huge difference. For now, go in your bios and disable the turbo clocks, change your Windows settings to Power Saving and verify your fans. This should already make a good difference.

A hyper 212 is an easy and cheap cooler which can easily cool your i5 as long as the ambient temperatures are kept mild. My hyper 212 manages the 5820k @ 4.0ghz with a max temp of 76c.
