That's a rather blunt way of putting it....
If I was being equivalently blunt, my advice would be to not bother with the 3570K at all.
The 2500K oc's so much more easily, and as a result will be faster with a much cheaper
cooler. Or better still, since one doesn't need a mega cooler for SB, just get a 2700K
and have the benefits of HT, run it at 5.0. My used 2700K cost less than a new 3570K.
However, I have a feeling the op has already bought the 3570K.
A cheap standard TRUE will happily run a 2500K at 5.0, and it looks a lot nicer than
most of these newer coolers aswell IMO. That Macho is ugly to my eyes.

Sure, and void the warranty. Not everyone is comfortable doing this kind of mod. It's a
lot more risky than just oc'ing a chip.
Unless one really needs something that IB offers by way of functionality that SB doesn't
have, the 2500K/2600K/2700K are still much more sensible options if one is going to
oc them. It took me just 3 minutes to get my used 2500K running at 4.7. Once I've finished
fiddling I've no doubt it'll be happy at 5.0 just like my 2700K, using a TRUE that cost less
than $25.
