i5-4690K Overclocking CPU Cooler.

EvooHD · Aug 3, 2016

Hello i wanted to buy a new CPU Cooler im running right now

i5-4690K 3.5GHz (STOCK Intel cpu cooler)
MSI Z97 GAMING 3
8GB of RAM DDR3 1600MHz
GTX 970 4GB
Corsair RM650x

i wanted to OC my i5, to 4.2GHz for now, later mybe 4.4Ghz
Will i be able to do it with 212Hyper EVO? or do i need to buy MAELSTORM 120T ?? Liquid Cooler,

p.s Im on budget so yea, i personaly prefer "Air Cooling" i just dont like those Water things.
I will later buy new case to, looking at Corsairs cases
right now i have Cooler Master k380

I suggest an air cooler thats above 50€ for OC to 4.4GHz
like the Noctua NH-U14(S), the BeQuiet Dark Rock series, the Scythe Mugen Max/Mugen 4, the Phanteks PH-TC12DX or the Cryorig H5
but I'm rather save than sorry and live in a hot area

Isokolon :

What about 212x Evo?

Isokolon · Aug 3, 2016

it's a very good cooler for it's price.
got maybe the best value ratio but that doesn't make it the best cooler.
but maybe someone with OC-experience regarding an 4690k will swoop in and prove me wrong.
personally I'd go a bit more expensive than the Evo

I think you are good.
Your expectations are reasonable.
How high you can go will be limited most likely by your vcore.
You do not want to exceed 1.3v.

If you want a better cooler, I can recommend the noctua NH-U12s

I would recommend the Cryorig H7 for $35(US). It blows the CM 212 EVO away.

In my country i cant find where to buy Cryorig H7 i would love to buy it ... But im found Noctua NH-U12S , for 65 Euros.

Is it better then 212X? and can i will be able to make 4.2GHz with stable Temperatures?

geofelt · Aug 3, 2016

The NH-U12s is no doubt better than the hyper212.
And, it is easier to mount.
It is as good as it gets for air and it is superior to most simple AIO coolers.
You would have to be very unlucky if you can not get to 4.2 if your case has decent airflow.

oh forget to tell you, my new case will be "CORSAIR CARBIDE SPEC-03"
So its good for AirFlow?:
