Hi I just finished overclocking my i5 4670k to 4.1 ghz at 1.236 volts on a Zalman CNPS90F cooler. I tested everything using Aida64 and Realtemp and found that underfull load that my temps never broken 73 degrees celcius and even lower with the air con turned on. I was hoping for a better overclock but I am limited by heat as I can't go any higher on the voltage without seeing my temps sky rocket.
This is why I am looking for a new cooler. I was hoping for a closed loop water cooler as I have high profile ram that will obstruct many coolers such as the 212 EVO. My ram is approximately 40 cm high (from mobo plastic to top of heatsink). My preferred budget is 150$ and below. Also I live in australia so I cannot purchase anything from NewEgg, so please do not suggest products that are only available from that site.
My system:
i5 4670k @ 4.1ghz 1.236 volts (Looking to oc higher)
ASUS Z87m-Plus motherboard
G.Skill 16gb ram (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314)
<-- 2 of these kits
Zalman Z11-Plus case
Asus GTX 760
