best cpu cooler?

Whats the best cpu cooler for $50 or less? Height should be less than 160mm, otherwise it won't fit in my case. I've thought of getting the CM Hyper 212 EVO, it's cheap and seems to be fairly good. I also could've gotten the Noctua NH-D15 for a discounted price, but sadly that wouldn't have fitted in my case.

I'd like to hear your opinions for the best cpu cooler around that price (=

maybe check if the smaller noctua coolers fit like the 120 or 140mm ones

the bequiet coolers are superb too

There is the Noctua NH-U9S which could fit so I'll just probably grab that if I get it used somewhere. I will also look into the bequiet ones too, so thanks for the suggestion.

I'd strongly suggest you look into closed circuit water coolers, they're ~50-60$ and work much better than an expensive radiator style CPU sink

thats straight up incorrect
especially for 50$ an aircooler will work a lot better, especially for noise normalized performance aka silence as a concern

noctua is good
what specific case and cpu do you have?

Never had any issues with Noctua.

These AIO watercoolers got pretty cheap, should fit your budget + they are kinda small.

I'd rather go with air cooling, as I am not even overclocking. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Yeah, noctua is a pretty good brand (=

Silentiumpc regnum rg4t and the i7 6700

then you should be fine with most coolers
youd even be fine with a 30$ hyper 212 evo or similar ones from arctic as your cpu wont be putting out too much heat

the only real reason to go with a clc is aestetics

I guess I'll just go with that then

could also check out arctic https://www.arctic.ac/de_en/products/cooling/cpu.html

imo they also got some nice coolers which are def up to par
and they look nice
if youre looking for some aestetics then those might be for you too

I've decided what I'll get, the cryorig h7. Picking it up today (=

i would buy thr Noctua-NH-D15-Tower-cooler

best cpu cooler?
