December 24, 201114 yr Go for watercooling if you are going to overclock.Corsair H80 is the best bang for the buck, cost is under $80.I am using one, and very happy with my temps.Under load, temps is 65C, push/pull setup using NoctucaMine is an i7 920 C0 @ 3.99Gz, 1.35vcoreThanks,Tom
December 25, 201114 yr Best value would be the Hyper 212... | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
