Can anyone suggest me a good cooler for an i5 4690k? My motherboard is the Asrock z97 fatality (i'm not sure if this makes a difference) I don't intend to overclock, but with my stock cooler my cpu can get up to 86 degrees celsius at the moment and I wanted to really lower that temperature. Budget is around $60 |

Someone correct me if Im wrong --- End quote --- you are not |
