I've been using my Intel 4770k with the stock cooler , temps were a little high but it was without a problem. I set the Ram to XMP ,2133mhz, a few months ago.. Now even very rarely I got crashes.


Now I want to change the cpu cooler and thermalpaste, I'm a bit inexperienced a bit about it.

-It has to be easy to install , fool proof as much as possible.

-since I won't be OC 'in it much I guess I don't need those huge coolers that put some stress on the mainboard.

-Quite as much as possible.


What would be your recommendations?
 
Solution
For just cooler temps at stock speeds or mild overclocking, something like the Cryorig H7 would be my suggestion.

Easy enough to install:

Any pretty budget orientated when you consider the performance of it.

Something like the 212 Evo from Cooler Master is likely cheaper, but will perform a little worse & is louder.
