Hello,

I'm in need of a decent CPU cooler since my stock Intel is dieing on me, my CPU is getting super hot, like 80°-90°C hot.

I'm looking for a quite (as much as possible) that gets a stable OC for my cpu.

I don't know much about aftermarket coolers, I've searched around the net a bit and found several coolers:

1) Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-evo/) for ~25-30€

2) Corsair Hydro H80i (http://www.corsair.com/en/hydro-series-h80i-high-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler) for ~70-90€

I'm more than happy to hear you suggestions and recommendations regarding the matter.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: Forgot to mention my specs:

Asus Rampage III Formula

Intel i7-950

Kingston HyperX 6GB @1800Mhz High Profile Memory(http://img12.360buyimg.com/n1/1023/03b93b32-78d8-4c37-a157-87c23c7c494c.jpg)

PSU CM Silent Pro 1000W

Case CM Storm Scout

EDIT2: I know this is a bit difficult, but is there a cooler that will be "future proof"? I mean to be compatible with the future i7 processors with the apposite bracket down the road?

The Aidos performs on par with 212 at a lower price-point.

Tell us what you get the OC up to btw - I got mine to 4.0 stable with 1.35 or something like that.. Didn't want to go higher.

Will the Hyper 212 EVO fit in my case with the high-profile RAM?

It seems that the best solution for my setup is the Corsair Hydro series, since the high-profile RAM doesn't let me enough clearance space for an air-cooler heatsink.

So, I just want to ask a final question. Which one is better, the H75(64€) or the H80i(77€)?

Thank you.
