My i3 2100 is running really hot and I'm considering buying a hyper 212 evo cause I'm probably gonna upgrade my CPU later on, so might aswell get a cooler.

So my question to you is.
What cooler would you recommend
or should I just get more fans in my rig? I currently only have 1 fan which is the one I got with the case. Zalman T2
 
Solution
The Hyper 212 EVO should be fine. No need to spend money on a Noctua fan especially since you cannot overclock anyway. Though the EVO is still good enough to cool OC'ed CPUs.

My guess is that that your current thermal paste has started to deteriorate.
