[SOLVED] Wich cooler for i5-3570k OC at 4,4~4.5Ghz ?

[Nomade77]

Hi,

So after a long time of having my CPU(i5-3570k), I decided i was going to overclock it to get the best out of it before DDR5 come on the market and become not overprice (maybe 1 years after the release) . I plan on overclocking it to 4.4, 4.5 GHz if possible.
I think nh-u14s (70$) or nh-u12s wich is 10$ cheaper (nh-d15 seems overkill) are the best option but i found that AIO like masterliquid ml240L V2 at 65$ (i don't care about RGB but it's cheaper) could be a better choice according to this tier list (ml240: Tier 2/ nh-u14s: Tier 4/ nh-u12s: Tier 5) and some other reviews. But i aslo found reviews who say that Noctua are much better compared with AIO of the same price.

So i'm a bit confused. What do you think about this? Maybe non-mentioned cooler are better choice ?

Another criteria is to buy a cooler wich can be re-used if possible into my next config (I think in 3 years).

Used of my PC: Gaming / Wants to be able to play at AC valhalla or Cyberpunk for example (not with 120fps or 4K ofc)

Curent config :
GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Nitro+ OC 8 Go
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G45
RAM: 24G + 22G / 1333mhz

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You could slap a CoolerMaster Hyper 212X/Evo/Plus onto that processor and be done with it, for $30~$40. There's no need to invest a $100 cooler on such an old processor.

Ok ty for the advice !
And can i re-used it in my next config in 2022 for example?

Depends on the next processor you use if it's good enough but keep all the mounting hardware that comes with the cooler.

If you plan to reuse it , then Get Noctua Nh D 15 and dont bother that it is an overkill. in the future it will be NOT.

Watercooling is also an option .. but dont get anything lower than 240 Rad .. 280 even better.

So if i take a nh-u14s, no doubt that will fit in my next pc ?
