Hey,
So I've been having issues with my Hyper 212x cooler, long story short it has not performed to the standards of what I've seen from other people with similiar specs.. but it could be my fault since I'm still new to installing aftermarket coolers. (I've always stuck with a stock cooler)

I'm going to Umart tomorrow and I was wondering if any of you could kindly find a cpu cooler on there that is the best value for the money (liquid or air I don't know)

Thanks in advance

Fractal Define R5 - CPU coolers up to 180mm in height

And the NH-D15 is 165mm tall so that will fit ok. Just make sure to use some low profile ram otherwise you may have to move the front fan on the nh-d15 up. :)

The best air cooler in recent years regardless of money is the Noctua NH-D15. It is a monster SO MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR CASE'S MAXIMUM CPU COOLER CLEARANCE HEIGHT and see if it fits. Liquid is better but more expensive. The NH-D15 even gives some liquid coolers a run for their money!

Looking forward to seeing how this performs in terms of ocing and noise. Ill be buying that tomorrow and definitely overclocking my i7 at last :)

The ram clearance might pose an issue for that cooler (Its 44mm tall)
