So I'm looking to get the most out of my new CPU. I opted for Ivy Bridge because I'm not a fan of the fact that Haswell seems to run much too hot for my tastes, and I wanted something that overclocked pretty well.
Aside from a custom liquid cooling system, what would be the best cooler to get a very generous overclock out of my cpu? I'm looking at at least a 4.5-4.6GHz overclock, possibly higher. Assuming that money is not a problem, what's my best bet for getting the highest and most stable overclock? I've heard some great things about getting an NH-D14 with non-stock fans, but other then that I'm not sure. Preferably I would like something that doesn't sound like a jet turbine in my room, I would atleast like it to be moderately quiet. Liquid or Air cooling, doesn't matter to me.
For reference about case size, my case is the Cooler Master HAF XM. I'm also using the MSI Z77 MPOWER Mobo
Thanks in advance.
