I need a cooler for my i5 4670K.

EmnicJr · Dec 7, 2013

So two options: air or liquid. Will the i5 OC Haswell need the power of liquid cooling or will a decent air cooler do just as good? I'm not looking to spend a whole lot of money on a cooler, but I'd rather get a better cooler than another processor. What is the best, cheapest cooler for me?

The standard suggestion is the Hyper Evo 212, and it does a decent job for a very good price.

It is not designed for record breaking OCs though. Just a solid performer for average overclocks. If you are wanting more aggressive results, then you'd need to move up to Noctua nh-d14 for example, or to a closed loop liquid cooling solution like the Corsair H100i.
