Hi

My Corsair Hydro AIO is failing after a good couple of years and needs replaced. I don't fancy putting too much money into this rig as it's getting on a good 4 years now. Board is MSI Gaming 5. Don't really want to go over £30~ tbh. Anything in that range to keep me out of trouble for the time being? Chip is already delidded with liquid pro installed so it's not stupid hot.

Bear in mind you can probably reuse whatever cooler you end up getting on the next build. But cooler choice largely depends on what clock speeds you're running and your available space really.

Space is tight. Cooler is a tight squeeze as it is (Corsair h80i in a bitfenix shinobi case). I'd prefer a smaller simpler air-based cooler this time. Modest oc at 4400 on all cores, nothing amazing. Happy to drop to stock. If I still had the stock cooler I'd just stick that back on tbh!
