Which Quiet 1155 CPU Cooler for around £20?

[Pogge]

Hello!

I'm basically looking for a new CPU fan/heatsink for around £20, as my current one gets too loud when gaming. I do NOT overclock ANYTHING and I'm using the i5-2500k with 16GB RAM and a GTX 760 2GB.

The fan should be really quiet during gaming as I cannot stand loud fans, but at the same time should have decent temperatures.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you all for the quick reply! But does the 212 require me to take out the motherboard??

Yes you will need to take your motherboard out to install it.

Potentially. The Hyper 212 has a backplate that goes on the motherboard. If your case has a hole behind the motherboard's CPU socket, you don't need to remove it.

Hmm, isn't there another heatsink which is simpler to install? and if possible even cheaper? Else I will just go for the 212 I guess. Thanks
