Hey,

I'm on a limited budget and I'll have to make my case a bit cooler since my a8 5600k is getting quite hot. Since I'm only abe to afford a new cpu cooler OR a case fan (the case doesn't have one in the back, where the cpu and mobo are located). So I was wondering, which would benefit me the most (less noise and cooler temps)?

More about : case fan cpu cooler

I would recommend replacing the stock cooler first , and a case fan later on when you can afford it , what is your budget for a cooler so i can recommend 1 within that price bracket

this is slightly over your budget , but is a great cooler for its price , i recommend the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler , if that is too much , then
the lower priced CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 EVO

Seems like a nice cooler, but it doesn't support fm2.
