Hello, can anyone recommend a good CPU fan for an overclocked i5 2500k.
I've overclocked to 4.2Ghz on stock cooler and would like to spend no more than £30 on a new cooler.
Idle temps are approximately 35 degrees and at 75% CPU utilization I was getting 70 degrees which was worrying and Asus AI Suite II occasionally pops up with some voltage warning? I used the Auto TurboV Evo feature to overclock.

Thanks, Dave.

Is it just me, or does the coolermaster hyper 212 Evo look A LOT like the heatsinks phenom 2's come with?

keep in mind i said a lot, not performs as.

It will come with everything you need to install it.

Basically, you put on the backplate. Apply the thermal compound, place the cooler, use the tool provided to tighten the bolts on the back for the hsf to screw down or you will need a long screw driver to screw the screws down. Easiest way I found to install the Hyper is to take off the fan then screw down the cooler and then put the fan on.

have you lapped your cpu?
