I'm looking for something below or around $50, i'm sick of buying $20 coolers that are just not my money's worth.. i get 40oC at Idle and around 65oC while gaming and it's just not good! Someone please link me some CPU Coolers from ebay.co.uk that are under or around $50 please!

Again those temperature are pretty good, my 8700k with a Cryorig H7 with all 6 cores at 4.7Ghz will thermal throttle under a heavy sustained work load (hit temps of over 90C), if Intel used solder like they did on your 2500k I would expect temps 25C lower.

Looks like the max cooler height for that case is 150mm, you might be maxed out with something like a Cryorig H7

My case is a Game Max Centurion, i still want to upgrade my CPU Cooler.. i never use to go this high in Temps while playing CS:GO.. i would go 55 max or sometimes even 49'ish :(

is there anything cheaper than the Cryorig H5 that is still good? 47 Pounds is like $65 and it's above my budget which is $50 :(

Also.. could my thermal paste be the reason for it? Because i use to get good cpu temps until i applied this thermal paste..
it's a "White grease" And i've been told its not good and i should go for the silver one? is this true?
