This would keep it cool & quiet, just make sure your case supports coolers up to 160mm.

Thats enough to put it on all core turbo all the time?

It will by why do you want to run it at full speed on all cores?

Better proformance, its only 2.9ghz and can boost to 4.1ghz.

Yes but it will boost to those speeds when it needs to so if your browsing or idle then the CPU will run at a lower speed, usually 800mhz to conserve power.

An MCE -capable/enabled motherboard will boost all cores CPU to max turbo (or higher if dealing with a K-series processor) under heavy load (including gaming), yet still idle down to 800-1000 MHz (if in Balanced Power Mode) when browsing the web, watching Youtube., etc... (Mine has done so flawlessly for a little over 2 years..)

Fair enough, so yea that 212 EVO Black would still do the trick although there are better/quieter coolers out there for a bit more.

If you want something that is practically silent then I'd get this.

The Mugen 5 Scythe has indeed been quite popular...

If one's case is wide enough to allow the 168 mm Noctua NH-D15, it's still the 'last stop' in air coolers...(although I doubt many people want to spend $90 extra cooling some of the sub-$200 cpu options....)
