Yesterday I changed my CPU cooler orientation, before It was blowing hot air down

Now Its blowing to the back of cabinet

And I changed "stock" thermal paste to this one (http://), my current cooler are pcyes zero k z2, It have only two copper tubes on both sides, and I get these temps:

So, I have two options, buy CoolerMaster Hyper 212X, or buy two fans and install them on the front of my cabinet (AeroCool Aero 500) to increase airflow?, which one really worth?
And one last (and principal) detail, my computer are in a corner.

My processor are i5 6600K
Motherboard z170-p
VGA GTX970 (windforde, 3 fan)

The Hyper 212 will do a good job but as importanly have 2 x 120mm fans on the front of the case blowing air in. Have the Hyper 212 fan blowing air out of the back of the case and have the back case fan also blowing air out.

2 x 120mm fans from the front blowing into the case, and the Hyper and rear fan blowing out. This will overall provide better airflow in and out helping both the CPU and GPU...

I believe you should definitely go for the 212X as it is a better cooler and also has a relatively small form factor. May I ask, what do you mean by 'install them on the front of your cabinet', or about having 2 coolers. These are CPU coolers, unless you have a multiple CPU build you only need and can only use one on your motherboard. Hope this helps.

My cabinet (Aerocool Aero 500) have place for two 120mm coolers (does fan are the right word for this?), so my question was, increase air flow with these two fans or buy an new CPU cooler?
