Best CPU Cooler under £30 for Corsair SPEC-03?
I am going to be getting a Corsair SPEC-03 as my first builds case but I want to overclock my i5 4670k so I was wondering what would be the best one that can fit?

That means the guarantee it will fit 157mm tall heatsink, no risk.


Okay, well as long as you are sure. If it doesn't fit, expect a bill ;)  Only kidding! lol

Usually manufacturer will leave little clearance with their max and 157mm should be totally safe.


But the corsair says 157mm? Is it worth a risk?

I have no clue how to read either of these posts so please tell me the outcome! :) 


First one is a test with the T4 showing it handle I7 at 4.3GHz and the second comparison where the T4 takes an edge over TX3 not by much though.


What would be an alternative under/around £40 for my case? It has to be under 157mm. Thanks.

I see. I was worried about this:

Wasn't sure as it failed that benchmark (in my link), seems quite fine now, and it has to be agreed Haswell runs hot, so 4.4GHz will be a task for both, and T4 may do it a bit better it seems.
