Best Cooler for Overclocking CPU

[chris nguyuen]

I am interested in overclocking my i7-6700K 4.0GHz

 

Right now I am running the coolermaster hyper evo 212. I am interested in overclocking the cpu to 4.5GHz.

 

I am planning to upgrade my cooler sometime soon and I have been looking at the Noctua NH-D15, D14, NZXT Kraken x62 and the Corsair h100i v2

 

Is liquid or air cooling better?

I am mainly looking for cooling power and don't mind noise that much but I would prefer not to have too much noise. Right now the evo 212 noise level is fine for me.

Are there any other coolers that are worth looking at?

My price range would max out at 200$. 

 

Also I am interested in some new case fans. Any suggestions for that?

 

Thanks

x62 is the best but the Noctua is also good

high end AIO units tend to do a few degrees better than high end air. Air's cheaper though and shouldn't have a problem doing 4.5 on a 6700k

Do you think that the 212 is good enough for 4.5?

Why not test it? You might have jesus-chip. Since you already have that cooler, I don't see why you wouldn't test it limits.

Fair point!
