overclocking Intel i5 3570k

Solution


The hyper 212 is 159mm tall. It won't fit. The Hyper TX3 will fit and is a decent little cooler for a 3570k. It is far better than stock. I used one for a build because Microcenter had an open box one for like $10 and it fit the person's budget well enough that we were allowed to get a better motherboard for the build.
yeah, you can get to that clock speed with that stock cooler, but if you are willing to spend $40, you can get a better lifetime out of your CPU and you can keep the temps down.

I would get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, it's an insane CPU Cooler for the price and if you wanted you can clock it even higher and the temps would be less then before.
