hello
im little confused with all the cpu coolers in the market and dont no which one to buy? even after checking google and stuff

i did some web browsing to see whats good and what not
was thinking of buying this: Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Revision B
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/low-profile-heat-sink-mini-itx,review-32826-6.html

any other recommendations?

i dont want to spend over £50, need a quieter and cooler fan (stock intel is loud!)

my specs:
cpu: Intel Core i5 4670K 3.40GHz Socket 1150 (i dont plan to OC cpu.....just yet)
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H
ram: G.Skill RipjawsX (incase they get in the way)

hopefully this makes sense as im half a sleep:pt1cable:

thanks in advanced!

 
What case will you be using?
It is the case that determines what cooler options you have.
Only if you will be installing in a very small case would a low profile cooler be needed.
Normally, a tower type cooler is quieter and more efficient.
Unless it is a very large cooler with dual fans, the ripjaws x is not a problem .
