Cooler suggestion for i7 2600K

[Drdeath]

My 2500K does 4.5GHZ @ 1.325V with a hyper 212+ And MX-4 TIM and does 33C idle and 67C max load.

 

Um, 2500K is not the same

Grab NZXT Havik 140 which priced ~$60. Spend $10 more than your predefined budget and you will get a cooler equivalent to Noctua D14.

 

 

The Havik is overpriced. Hyper 212+half the price

Then what about Noctua NH-U12P SE2?

 

If the ambient is high, then I don't think Hyper212+ can push 2600K beyond 4GHz.

The place he using computer is air conditioned, so his ambient will not so high compare to the place I use my computer.

I have try my processor with stock speed inside a air conditioned room with 24C temp setting, and I get 28C for idle and 48C for prime 95 30 min, while without air conditioned I get 36C at idle and 57C when using prime95 30 min. So I am 80% assume that air conditional help a lot in my country.

^Then Hyper212+ will suffice for mild overclocking. But don't expect too much from it.

I would recommend New Frio Extreme CPU Cooler released by Thermaltake.

 

I bet it will work better.
