Hey guys!
I will be getting a CPU cooler soon.
I have an i7-2600K and plan on going at least at 4.2 GHZ.
I want a CPU cooler that will keep my temps under 75 C at all times, even at 100% load. I think the EVO wont be able to do that, though many insist that I should stick with it.
But check those temps : http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Phanteks/PH-TC12DX/6.html
At 4.1 Ghz, the EVO hits 85C. Thats way too much. Sound wise, the Phanteks one is just a tad bit more loud, but runs way cooler. So , what do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!
(Keep in mind that I am also looking for a futureproof solution , or at least as much futureproof as I can get)

I dont know... I mean, the performance gain is great, but they are usually quite a bit more expensive...
