CPU Cooler for new build

[Mully]

I've narrowed it down to these 4 coolers: CM 212 Evo - £24 Noctua NH - D14 - £58 Zalman LQ 310 - £67 Corsair H100i - £90 I also like the look of the Swiftech H220' date=' but it's not available until mid-late February and I would like to see some benchmarks and reviews before I invest in one. What do you think?[/quote'] The H100 has a horrible price : performance ratio, you can get near enough the same performance if not better with the Noctua NH-D14 or Phanteks PH-TC14PE. If you're only going for a mild overclock the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO will be more than enough, it's a great cooler for a little price tag.

Thanks for the response. It's just what I needed to know.

I'm going to be ordering the D14 in the next hour or so.

Any objections ?

:P

Edit: Is it compatible with LGA 1155 out of the box?

I bought the Noctua NH-U12P SE2 , replaced the 2 fans that came with it for a single NF-F12pwm brilliant cooler and smaller than the D-14

Get temps 20c at idle , 56c running 4.4 ghz prime 95 can't fault it

I'm gonna use the stock cooler for now.

I'm still waiting to see how the Corsair H110, Kraken x60 and Swiftech H220 turn out before I make any changes.

Coolermaster 212+ evo; it has a black fan and an average looking heatsink. My i5 3570 runs at 35c~ at idle with fans on lowest rpm and 50c~ in load with fans on lowest rpm with cm212+evo.
