Hey everyone, I'm looking for an affordable air cooler that fits a XTRIKE V9 case and supports coolers up to 160mm. Since I can't get Noctua parts locally, I'm considering Hyper T4 and 212X options. I'm also curious if there are other models I should look into. I have a Thermaltake NiC L32, but I'm not familiar with it. Also, for a small overclock, do these coolers maintain enough temperature stability? I don't plan to overclock yet, but the noise is really bothersome!

Nayrnayr1:
Obtain the CRYORIG H7.
The CRYORIG H5 Universal offers a more affordable option, while the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO provides an even lower-cost alternative.
