Hello there. Im just looking for a decent cooler to power my PC. I do a lot of 4K / 1080p rendering. My Hyper Evo 212 just broke so Im looking for something a little beefier. So this past week Ive been on stock and it's been horrible, hitting 100 degrees sometimes whilst rendering which I had to cancel.

I've been looking at the Cooler Master Seidon 120V (which seemed to have the lowest temps) and Corsair H55 Water Cooler. The specs you need to know: Mobo - Gigabyte Z170-HD3P CPU - I7 6700K at 4Ghz But I would like to overclock. If you need any other info just ask. By the way I cannot fit a 240mm Fan into my case currently as my huge Graphics card is blocking the way haha :D

But basically Im looking for the best CPU Cooler for under 40-50 that will be available in the UK. Just looking for something that will stay under 80 degrees whilst 4K Rendering... Thanks for any feedback!

I dont like water cooler then an air cooler is enough. Cant think of a reason to risk both fan and pump going down. The Cryorig H5 is a great air cooler that performs over 7% better than the CM212 evo. It performs about an equal to the Cooler Master Seidon in the review.

Neither of those AIOs. They are slaughtered by HSFs at the same price. If you pay attention to tightening, the scythe Fuma is the best performing HSF on the market and beats a lot of AIOs.

If you can't find one on the market for ~$50, I suggest a Thermalright Macho or Scythe Mugen 5 which are still great coolers.

Thanks for everyones input. I'm still pretty set on the Cooler Master Seidon 120 V3 Plus. Although it may not be the BEST for under 50, it matches my current colour theme. Just basically want to know if it's easy to install and if it will handle full load (4K rendering) 100% CPU at under 80 degrees roughly, Thanks.

For the 120V:

Easy to install? Yes. Keeps Overclocked 6700k under 80C at 100% load? Likely no (still depends on case air flow, ambients,etc) . In these scenearios the 212 evo would even perform better. Not to mention the higher noise.

For the 120V 3 Plus:
It is better, though those HSF's still perform better than it.
