Build set, which cooler? IB i5k

[ghb70005]

Buying this build today
The i5K will be on a constant but slight overclock to maybe 4ghz...ish

Can't decide on the cooler..
I like the smaller no led zalmen for both looks and size
But do I need the larger version with led to keep this IB cool at that OC?

Case Antec 900 - plenty of room

Any particular reason why you are buying those extension cables?

As for the cooler, an inexpensive Hyper 212 EVO would be fine for that mild OC. Having said that, those Zalman's would be fine as well. 4Ghz isn't really very much of an OC.

hyper 212 evo is the way to go!! if you want more oc, just get the tpc 812

Extensions are for a cable management experiment on the Antec 900
Maybe I can route the cables out and around back..

Why no Zalman, they're so sleek?

There's nothing wrong with those zalman's. The tpc 812 is a great cooler too.

the hyper212 has a bit more value
