Is it worth it

[maxgamer875]

i have an i5 2550k cpu, and want one of 2 cpu coolers. either the cooler master hyper 212 plus evo (30$), or the noctua nh-d14 (90$). now i know the noctua is better, but what idk is whether or not its worth the extra 60$. pls give opinions.

If you are wanting to do extreme overclocking then go for the noctua, Otherwise go for the cooler master. It is one of the best you can get and will still allow for some serious overclocking

what if i want to overclock my 2550k from 3.3 to 4.2

The Cooler master will handle that just fine

just make sure your ram will fit under it if your ram has big heatsinks

how do i make sure of that??? i have g.skill ripjaws x series 8gb 2 x 4 will it fit???

seems like it will fit

though you may want to put the ram in before the cooler or before fitting the fans to the cooler to make it easier
