Looking For A CPU Cooler

[fenderj98]

Just Looking for a New CPU Cooler to replace the heatsink that came with my i5 4570 CPU

Not really bothered about price, just anything that does a good job! Thanks!

what kind of thing you're looking for in a cooler?

 

if it's quietness that depends on your fans - generally speaking.

 

if it's how cool it gets, how much OC'ing are you shooting for?

 

and if money is no object, why not just go for custom wc loop?

Assuming you are from the US, this:

Seeing as you cant really OC with that cpu though, a Hyper 212 Evo will suit your needs.

thats a locked cpu so you can even get a fanless one. or hyper 212 evo

Depends how cool and quiet you want it to be. If you want the quietest possible set up, either get a large air cooler or a custom loop.

But a more reasonable choise will be a heatsink like the 212X/Evo, Xigmatek Gaia, etc.

The CM 212 Evo is more than enough to cool a stock 4570.

If i was to buy this, could i replace the fan on it with a Noctua NF-F12?

Yes. Both are/use 120mm fans.

There's no point in that. Limit the stock fan to 40% max and it will cool the chip enough under load.

When you buy a 212 and NFF12 for the amount you're paying you might as well just buy a better heatsink that comes with better fans.

Good point. With $50 you can get Noctuas U12S or similliar with Noctuas own fans.

Why do you want to replace it though? If for looks i understand but for temps the stock cooler kept my 4770k pretty cool and wasnt loud at all.

Since you cant OC it i dont see the point... if for looks the then CM 212

I'm just gonna go balls to the walls, and say the Dark Rock Pro 3 (when it comes out).
