I have a Corsair H50 liquid cooler right now, and i was wondering if there are any better ones near that price range. The h50 is a good cooler, but it kinda tends to act as a heater for my room.. after about 3-4hrs of the PC being turned on, my whole room becomes a hotter temp than the rest of the house. So i was wondering if there are any good coolers that i can OC with. Budget is around $70 and under. Thanks!

Edit: I came across three good choices ( im not sure if theyr BETTER than the h50, but they seem good. )
Coolermaster Hyper 212: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065
Coolermaster V8: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103055

Got both.. Go for the Coolermaster V8. Stronger built and Its got a speed control that you can add anywhere in your case.

are you kidding? the h50 kills the v8. if you are getting high temps, you either should try resetting the h50 or you might want to consider either getting a full watercooling setup or downclocking your cpu. it wouldn't be worth it going to a $70 air cooler and ditching your h50.
 
WOW WOW I never said it didn't get the job done all I said was that of the two the V8 got better results. Which made it a better choice IMO.
 
Sorry for the late reply guys. I got the v8 though. The h50 was kind of a hassle since it wouldn't really even fit in my case. The dam radiator wouldn't go anywhere. (seriously i tried MANY different positions for it) All of them just blocked a lot of things and was too close to other things. I wouldn't mind down clocking a bit, maybe down to stock speed for now, and OC later on when i actually need it. Thanks for the help though guys.
 
Yeah the best option is to keep your H50 and put two 120x38mm fans on it. If you don't want the H50, the Hyper 212+ is my second suggestion. I don't know if it's cooler than the V8, but it's significantly cheaper and lower profile, plus it has the ability to hold two fans.
