I know everyone is going to point at the coolmaster 212, but if I cant get that, what should i get?

Mate what is your budget range? That will help heaps.

The Thermaltake Frio would be a good one at around £35:

A good 10C better than the CM212+

I heard that the K series come with tower coolers instead of low profile ones. I have no idea if this is true or not though.

Apparently this is not true.

so would a Thermaltake Frio be better than a Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom CPU Cooler?
