Hey guys,

I am making a build and i need to choose a heat sink. The best one for Overclocking the i5-4670k

The options are:
-Cooler Master Hyper Tx3 Evo
-Arctic Cooling Freezer i30
-NZXT Respire T40
-Any other CPU Cooler underneath $45 on this Site http://goo.gl/qjuhxy (has to be in stock)

PC SPECS:
Intel i5-4670k Processor
Msi Z87-G45-Gaming Motherboard
G.Skill NT 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz Ram
Gigabyte Windfore R9-270X 4GB (Plan to add another one in future)
Aerocool StrikeX Xtreme Case
Antec 620W High Current Gamer 'Modular' Power Supply
 
Solution
Both the Arctic Cooling I30 Freezer and the NZXT Respire T40 have 4x8mm heatpipes cooled by a 120mm fan; the TX3 EVO has 3x6mm heatpipes with a 92mm fan.

I would go for one of the other two. Sheer raw material doesn't mean everything, but it helps.

For what it's worth, I own an A30 Freezer, the AMD variant, and I am happy with it. I can not imagine the T40 operating much worse, if it does.
