I recently put together my first build for gaming and I'm pleased with it. However, I'm using the stock fan that came with my AMD FX-6300 and, like reviews said, it's VERY loud, so I'm looking for a nice cheap alternative. I've seen the Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212, but installation looks a tad fiddly for me; I really don't want to have to replace the stock bracket on my motherboard, nor do I want to have to take my mobo out of my Cooler Master Elite 342 case. Also, space is a bit limited in my case (max cooler height 15.3cm), so a tower cooler might not be the best.
What is the best cheap (<£30) CPU cooler that simply just goes on a standard AM3+ bracket and will fit into my case?
Thanks!

Only thing I was able to find was an installation video for the EVO 212 on an AM3+ board, he does install it without taking the motherboard out but his case had an access point for the back of the motherboard, it's hard to tell in the pictures but it looks like yours might, too? In any case here's the video
