Hi all this should be a pretty easy question but im just not that well informed when it comes to current heatsinks. I am looking for a good aftermarket heatsink that will keep my ivy birdge i5 3570k cpu cool but at the same time run somewhat quiet. Thanks in advance!

I would just go for the coolermaster hyper 212, or the smaller TX3 if you don't want to remove the mother board.

^Both of those are great "bang for the buck" coolers, and more than sufficient for most user's needs. (I own/have owned a couple of each)

But "best" will cost more money than either of those. And we don't know what will physically fit in your particular case.
