Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

An air cooler standing 160mm tall rated to dissipate 180W. Noise is specced at 9 dBA; socket compatibility spans AM5, AM4, LGA1700. That rating covers upper-midrange CPUs at stock and mild overclocks. At 160mm tall, verify case cooler clearance — mid-towers typically allow 160–170mm.

Its $25.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest CPU cooler deals from multiple stores.
