Hallo, all im new to building pc but I am officially hooked just finshed a world of warcraft rig now on to a full gaming rig... I am building a haswell gaming rig got Asrock z87 extreme 4 mobo, getting a i5 haswell since apparently its better for gaming vs price to the i7, so the only thing I dont know or up to date with is coolers I have googled day and only to find conflicting opinions so im asking you to help plain and simple whatIis the best air cooler for haswell now? The most expensive cooler here I south africa online is a coolermaster v8 I can afford it so price is not a option but people say its crap and the frio and v6gt is better and im not sure about zalman their top end coolers looks awesome but no one has a opion on performance.... what sould I go for im from a small town that reaches temperature of 43 degrees Celsius so I need a very good cooler, whats the best?

For what it's worth, I've used all those mentioned above and the 212 EVO is perfectly fine up through about 4.5 with a 4770K, I used one of those on my build (in sig) while waiting for the GTS V8 to be released (I preordered), and love the V8, I run 4.6 24/7 and no problems, even in AZ

Honestly just get the Cooler Master 212 EVO or the Cooler Master TPC 812 depending on your budget. They are both very good air coolers for their price points, but the 812 is better (as well as being more expensive).
