Best CPU cooler under 150mm under £30

Somasundaram Sathiyathasan · Mar 31, 2015

What is the best CPU cooler under 150mm (needs to fit in a Corsair Carbide 100R), which is also under £30 ($45)?
Thanks

Although that case officially lists 150mm clearance, Vortez managed to get a 158mm noctua in there:

Which means you could squeeze in something like the Raijintek themis (157mm): http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00E5YTGIY/?tag=pcp0f-21

Please could you read the question properly before answering. The 212 Evo is 159-160mm and will not fit in my case.

What cpu do you have?

LucoTF :

I have an Intel Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition which I am willing to overclock to 4.6Ghz.

That's only a 54w chip, almost any cooler will do. You mentioned gbp, are you uk based?

LucoTF :

Yeah, I live in the UK. Would you recommend the Zalman CNPS9900 MAX?

Get Raijintek Aidos it will fit and it will cool good.

The aidos would be a great match.

Thanks, both to you and LucoTF. The Aidos has a nice price-performance ratio and beats the 212 Evo on almost terms. Where I live, the Aidos is half the price of the 212 Evo and the Zalman which I looked at.
Thanks

The Aidos outperforms the Hyper 212 EVO? I'm surprised...

LucoTF · Mar 31, 2015

sora :

It's close but the EVO wins.

The raijintek Themis (and ereboss) are the ones that beat the evo

Somasundaram Sathiyathasan · Mar 31, 2015

LucoTF :

See for yourself...

In most cases, it beats the Evo.

Also look at the price-performnace ratio!

Forstytech have it losing to the EVO:
