I have a new i7-4790K on an ASRock Extremem4 Z97 mobo and my Hyper-212 EVO barely keeps it cool enough at stock. I tried OC'ing to 4.4Ghz, load temps were constantly in the low 80's with single cores reaching upper 80's to low 90's, which is too hot. So I need a better CPU cooler.
Requirements..
1. MUST be $75 or under, zero wiggle room here.
2. Must clear all 4 memory slots, currently filled with G.Skill Sniper memory.
3. My case only allows a max height of 160mm for the cooler.
4. My case does support up to 280mm rads.
5. I don't care about water vs air, nor do I care about looks, just need preformance!
6. I have a number of spare 120mm & 140mm fans, so don't mind replacing the fans on the cooler.
Currently, I have my eye on the upcoming Noctua NH-C14S, which should be released sometime later this month and should debut right at $74.99. However, if there are other options available, I am all ears...
