What heatsink to use for my i5 3570k CPU?

[Ynkeeblood9]

Hi all this should be a pretty easy question but im just not that well informed when it comes to current heatsinks. I am looking for a good aftermarket heatsink that will keep my ivy birdge i5 3570k cpu cool but at the same time run somewhat quiet. Thanks in advance!

Not sure why you posted this in Work & Education....but I'm using a Noctua NH-U12P SE2. It's a high quality heatsink (which yes, is more expensive than most), but it's very quiet and does a really good job of keeping my 3570K cool.

You'd have been much better off posting this question in the right section, by the way.
