CPU Cooler - Overclocking i7 4770k

[DavidBrown1997]

Right i am going to more than likely overclocking the i7 4770k in the build below when i buy it within the next few weeks, i was wondering what cooler to add? I am stuck between a simple cooler master 212 evo which people say would be enough or whether to go for a noctua / h100i water cooled. I am not sure what i would need.

The over clock i would be looking for is 4Ghz+

Currently right now I use the h60 Corsair cooler with 2 SP 120 high performance corsair fans set up on both sides of the radiators. I can OC to 4.3 GHZ without increasing the voltage and can manage 4.5-4.6ghz with 1.25V. My temps have never touched over 55~C at full load.

You can find more effective and cheaper air coolers than the closed loop counterpart. I like how much cleaner the h60 keeps my system as well as being able to more efficiently extract the heat out of my case.

Hyper 212 EVO is good to about 4.4 running 24/7, after that might look at a Phantek, I run 4.6 24/7 and decided on the CM GTS V8 (great cooler)

I suggest the h60 as well, it makes your computer look clean and run efficiently under low temperatures.

Whats the difference bettwen the h60 and the h100i

The h60 has a smaller radiator and 1 fan, the h100i is 2x the size and has 2 fans. I love my h100i it works great, you wont regret it.
