What is a good aftermarket cpu cooler for my Intel Core i5-3570 Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz?

[Norbic]

Please suggest a good aftermarket cpu cooler for that in the $50-$80 range.

The CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO is wildy popular and for good reason, however, I personally have the XigmaTek Gaia which I believe performs as well or better for a much cheaper price.

If you want water cooling, get Corsair H series.

i would say the xigmatek dark knight II, similar to the 212 evo, but has a led fan, and the heatsink is ceramic coated which is nice and dissipates heat well and is only $10 more than the 212 evo

Actually, you won't need an aftermarket heat-sink for the i5-3570 unless you're overclocking it but it isn't a superb OC'er. However, the 3570K will need one (such as the Hyper 212 someone mentioned before) if it's overclocked past 4 GHz or so. Nonetheless, the best budget cooler (under $50) is the Hyper 212 Evo.
