Solution B B Buzz247 Aug 10, 2013 Bottom line - haswell = hot. Evo barely handles an OC on that. (4.0 at best conditions) Top tested aircoolers on Haswell for OC: Noctua dh-u14s Thermalright Silver arrow Extreme Phantek Pe-tc14 Don't waste your time with an EVO or any mid grade cooler on that chip. You will be sorely disapointed and wasting money
