Hi guys,

To be honest I'm not interested in overclocking but I do push my CPU a little too much for my standard Intel Cooler to look after.

Here's the deal, I play games on Ultra quality, every game you can think of I crank to max due to the GTX 780Ti and 570 in PhysX. I also host servers so I currently have 16gb of RAM but I'm thinking about going to 32gb. Often it's Minecraft, small Battlefield 4 servers or massive Company of Heroes games.

Now what I want is a cooler that will be relatively quiet. Lowest temps under 100% load would be ideal, obviously.

Now the Specs. My signature has the motherboard if you need to know that, the CPU you know and the case is a Antec P193 - V3 Mid Tower case.

If you're thinking water cooling it needs to be reliable as I've this fear that it would rupture in a pipe and spill all over the stuff and there goes my spanking brand new PC.

So yeah, help is appreciated.

depending on budget.
evo 212 is nice for lower budget, where the for a higher budget the Noctua NH-D14 is amazing.

A little advise: Rent a VPS, whereof you can host your minecraft server.
You will have a 99% uptime, and should worry about not turning off your computer.

I thank you for your help but please read everything in my question. I'm looking for something that can definitely keep my PC cool.

I will give a temp statistic and frequency statistic asap whilst under 100% load.

You should seriously go for a aftermarket cooler.
Those temp are high.
Get a evo 212.
It will suit your needs.
