Trying to Find a Good Aftermarket Cooler For i5

Hscumbie · Aug 11, 2014

Hello, i'm trying to find a good aftermarket cooler for an intel i5 4670K I'm wishing to overclock it and i will need a new cooler (i ran prime95 and had to stop it because it reached 100C) at idle its at about 35C on all 4 cores. My case is a Rosewill CHALLENGER. Anything under 100$ will do for me. If i didn't include important info please let me know.
Thanks!

If you're looking for air coolers, here are two: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2%2Cnoctua-cpu-cooler-nhd14/

The 212 is pretty good and only costs $30. The D14 is excellent but costs more.

Ok, thanks for the replies. Would a water cooler be any better since i'm overclocking?

if u want to heavy oc then i would recommend a water cooler for light oc hyper 212 for mid oc nuctua and for high oc water cooling ...http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-Extreme-Performance-Liquid/dp/B009ZN2NH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407781086&sr=8-1&keywords=h100

Here is a comparison of 4 liquid coolers against the Noctua NH D14: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nepton-280l-tundra-td02-water3.0-pro-reserator3-max,3607.html

The best AIO cooler only beat the NH D14 by a couple of degrees but it was much noisier and considerably more expensive. Not worth it in my book.

I agree with Yogi and the rest - of course I have a D14 so I'm biased. I'll stack my OC temps up against anything up to an H110i though. The D14 is quiet, reliable and effective.

Ok, then the D14 it is! thanks guys!
