I need CPU Cooler Help

DeltaRecon2552 · Jan 28, 2014

My Hyper 212 EVO went on back order and I have an i5-4670k that I want to overclock. So I need the coolest, quietest, and awesomest AIR cooler under 50 dollars ASAP. Any suggestions????

It depends on the size of the case. But for 50$, I would higlhy recommend the Phanteks PH-TC12DX. It is smaller in size compared to the PH-TC14PE but it's still very good for overclocking.

I got a full ATX case. Thor V2 if you want to look at it.

Hmmmm... I can push my budget to $75. It still has to be an air cooler.

I use this and have my 8350 OVER 5 GZ.

Not bad at all.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 28, 2014

I own the Huge Phanteks and the Noctua coolers , and the Phanteks is better .

DeltaRecon2552 · Jan 28, 2014

I'm looking at the Noctua. Not too bad. The Phanteks look good as well.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 28, 2014

They are both the real deal with air cooling.

DeltaRecon2552 · Jan 28, 2014

Isn't the phantek a lot bigger?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 28, 2014

It's just a tad bigger.

Both are easy to install.

DeltaRecon2552 · Jan 28, 2014

Okay.

DeltaRecon2552 · Jan 28, 2014

What do you guys think of the Thermaltake Frio?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 28, 2014

Decent but can't touch the other 2.

DeltaRecon2552 · Jan 29, 2014

Which phantek cooler do you guys recommend for an ASUS Maximus Hero VI Mobo? I can't tell which one's are too big or get in the way of my RAM....
