I want to overclock my 1100t saftly to 4.5g i have heard of this being possible but I have no clue as to which cooler to choose. I know one had the Noctura Nh-D14(i believe that is right-the big big one :eek:) I just dont know if i want that thing in my case i know it will fit. What else are my options. The H70 or maybe the Kuhler 920, how cool would it be to say "my pc is liquid cooled" i just wouldnt tell them its the cheating way. Should I go air or liquid I dont want to build a liquid system becuase of possible leaks. What do you guys suggest?

Thanks
 
Whatever you choose, ensure it will fit. The Noctua D14 is freakin enormous.

Check www.frostytech.com for cooler reviews.
The 902 is a midtower. I had to modify my Antec 900 to fit the Thermalright Ultra 120. It barely fits the Spire Thermax. Check for clearance before purchasing. And I don't think there's any cooler that will guarantee a 4.5 Ghz OC. Your mileage may vary as they say.

I think 4.2 is attainable with that CPU. Part of it will depend on your motherboard, a lot of it the particular CPU, and part of it will be skill.
