Just bought the 212 Evo from CM, and my CPU is kinda the same as yours so if you want I can send you my temps while running prime95 in about 2-3 days

CPU: Xeon 1230v3 - GPU: GTX 770  - SSD: 120GB 840 Evo - HDD: WD Blue 1TB - RAM: Ballistix 8GB - Case: CM N400 - PSU: CX 600M - Cooling: Cooler Master 212 Evo

Update Plans: Mini ITX this bitch

You dont need to run Prime95 on a locked processor. Yes the 212 Evo will keep it cool since it cant overclock anyways

Remember a wise man once said, "You'll most likely hear/see more bad reviews from products than good, because if they get a good product, they won't bother to write a review, and if they got a bad product, they'll complain about the product" ~ SoftenButterCream

I will run Prime to see how good it is under unreal loads so he knows how good it is for his OCable i7

Nh-d15, dark rock pro 3, cooler master v8gts vapor chamber, thermalrights stuff for air

 (any cooler in that pricerange will perform on the same level basically, differences are the looks and how theyre balanced towards performance/loudness)

I will not mention that custom loops are theb est way to cool your pc and i will not list AIOs like the Kraken x61 because you posted in the Air-cooling section :D

Main Rig:

-
CPU: i7-2600k @4.8 GHz - CPU cooler: bequiet! Dark Rock Pro - Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 Deluxe - GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming - SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB - HDD: Western Digital Green 1tb - PSU: EVGA SuperNova G2 750W - Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi r2 -

Using a Noctua NH-D15 for my 4790k

~25°C Idle

~55°C Prime95 load for half an hour

 

Safe to say, I am very happy with it.

I say whatever 120mm air cooler is a cheapest with a good fan. Typically people post the 212+ by coolermaster. Anything in that form factor does the same thing with Arctic Silver 5. The original 120mm air cooler is the Thermalright ultra 120 cooler that everybody copied.

Can't say best, my experience with anything else is nil, but the Enermax ETS-T40 is pretty darn awesome for $40.

a month ago I had the same problem, but I had other priorities, for me it was silence and performance (the price wasn't an issue and I OC'd my cpu from 3,5 to 4,5 GHz) I considered: Cryorig R1 Ultimate/Universal , Phanteks PH-TC14PE or my favourite Noctua NH-D15 (have this beast, quiet like a whisper, love it) the beQuiet Dark Rock Pro 3 is a good cooler also, keep in mind that You need a low profile ram with all those coolers 

we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion...
