Progressing my overheating problem.
I'm about to remove, clean and refit my stock cooler but I am wondering if
a slightly more beefy cooler might help.
A quick search turns up <https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Hyper-Black-Cooling-System/dp/B07H9HJLG5> which seems compatible with the socket.
Howver the same page lists the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO V2 for £1 more. I've currently not worked out what the Evo has over the Black.
Anyway, anyone used one of these?
Any recommendations for an alternative?

The Hyper 212 is my standard cheap-but-fine cooler for custom builds. I don't know the variations but some have LEDs in them, others don't, etc. Probably the Black is just about the colour (the normal one is regular aluminium), although they may vary the fan mechanisms.
As with all of this form factor, check you have enough case height for a
tall cooler, and check it's not going to foul any RAM sockets.
Any recommendations for an alternative?
Noctua stuff is good, if pricier - the fans are very good (and available separately). I think I used an Arctic when I needed a low profile AM4 cooler, and that was OK too.
