What is the best I7-2700K / ASUS Sabertooth P67 B3 Cooler?

[benno4403]

Hi guys,

Trying to figure out what is the best cooler for an I7-2700K on a Asus sabertooth P67 B3 motherboard.

I have Vengeance RAM and its quite high.. it seems most good performance RAM sticks are a little high.. It seems I cannot install every Cooler.. Apparently the Noctua NH-D14 won't fit..

Now I was looking at Be quiet Dark Rock series but I am not sure which one to choose!

The intel boxed cooler gives me too high temps of 33/34 Idle and 95 c (celcius) at 100 percent load (3.5 ghz stock speed)

All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

Do you plan on overclocking the 2700K?

If you do what are your overclocking intentions?

As that directly relates to the cooling suggestions.

If memory module clearance is a problem then consider a CLC, however the size you use really needs to relate to your intentions.
