Heat Sink for Z97-K

ZackEcker

Hi, I have a Z97-K
With a Intel Core I7 4790k, I was wondering what would be a good heat sink for those.
Links to sites would help. :D

@Jrock Good pick, will probably get this one. atho
@tp95112 first one looks nice, second one looks amazing, last one is crazy good. but they are too much right now, if I was going to upgrade I would get the second one.

I'd recommend a Pure Rock. Yes, you can overclock on an air cooler. There isn't anything stopping you from doing so.

What ram and case are you using? Budget?

What are you looking for in a cooler?

Some old Thermaltake case

Cheep cooler with a big surface area.

Can you find the model name of the case and ram? It's to figure out how much clearance is available for the cooler.

If you're not sure, post some photos of them.
