I have a bit of money now so I might buy one, I couldn't afford it when I first built the PC. Last time I checked a good one was the coolermaster hyper 212 EVO which was about £20-30. What clock would I get for my 3570k with that? I don't want a mega overclock, about 4-4.3Ghz so I don't kill the CPU after 2 years.

And how hard is it to get the default intel cooler off the CPU?

Hi

The Evo will work great for that OC, and the stock cooler comes off easy. I used a 212+ for a while and that worked fine so the EVO should be even better.

Have Fun
