Hey guys, I am planning a purchase for Intel 4670K and will be going for minor OC to 3.8-4.2 ghz in the short term (this is my first build and will not be testing any hardcore OC until I get a good sense of computers).

With this build I am very much looking forward to getting a liquid cooler - particularly Corsair H60 (@ $55). I have read a lot of comments online that H60 (H55) is a piece of garbage (no offence) and that it is worth investing more to go for H80i or H100i instead. Now that is a little too much for the budget so I am wondering if H60 will be good enough for my 4670K OC'ed to 3.8-4.2ghz.

Building a quiet PC is one of the merits I am looking for, hence the liquid cooler over air such as evo 212. If you have any other suggestions for liquid cooling that can handle my spec, please post them up. I will follow them all carefully.

Thanks for all your comments in advance guys!

Yes, it will certainly be able to handle it. That is almost within the range of the turbo boost that is already on your processor, so it's no big deal.
