Hey there guys, I currently have an i5-3570k CPU with a 212 Evo cooler. My 212 is just far too loud right. It's always been somewhat loud but bearable, now its just horrible.
The 212 evo makes a fair bit of noise even without overclocking, and once I overclock even a tiny bit and launch any game/demanding task, the fan goes insane.
I'm looking for a liquid or air cooler that's both quiet and good for overclocking. I looked at a few liquid coolers but didn't know what to get, then others told me to go for air cooling. I really don't know what's best in this situation. I'd like to overclock but the noise in unbearable, and having the fan being near silent while idle would be amazing.
I live in Canada and would appreciate the best CPU cooler for a decent price. Money isn't a huge issue but I'd rather not drop >$150 or so, any suggestions are appreciated though.
Thank you very much in advance.
Edit: I have a H440 case so most coolers will probably fit.
