I have the case specified in the topic name and the CPU is a i5 4690k. I'm planning to do some slight OC and I need a better cooler. I was thinking about the Hyper 212 Evo or the X but they don't fit the case for 1 or 2mm. Around the same price range (30-35€) what is the best cooler that I can get? Maximum height is 157mm.

The TX is quieter but cools no better than stock.

It cools better than stock, yes maybe not as good as others, but it gets the job done and maintains a decent temp.

He wanted a cooler for slight OC and that fits in his case and I responded.

Thanks for the TX recommendation. Will check that one out.
Any other ideas?

Thanks for the last link. After my last post, I searched and I found the Thermalright 120M and the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13. Both seem to be pretty decent. Thoughts?

Any special reason, Blackbird? I read some reviews on the Macho 120 and it looked pretty neat. The 120M looks nice too but for being smaller, won't it cool worse?
