I'm looking to get an aftermarket CPU cooler for my i5 3570k, that will give me a stable 4.2 - 4.5 Ghz overclock with good temps. My only requirement is that it doesn't block any ram slots and comes in blue, white, black or grey. So far I'm looking at getting the Zalman CNPS9900 MAX Blue, although I've heard mixed reviews about it. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Just get a Cooler Master 212 evo and some blue led fans. I have the tx3 evo and it performes a couple degrees worse than the 212. I get 65 degrees prime95 on 4.3 on the 3570k. it´s good enough.

PC specs.3570k, asus p8z77m pro, 8gb corsair vengence 1600MHz, XFX 550w, seagate barracuda 1TB, MSI 660ti, cooler master k350, cooler master hyper tx3 evo.
