If you can fit it, there aren't many better air coolers:

Some of the top dogs of air coolers.

• Noctua NH-D14
• Thermalright Silver Arrow
• Phanteks PH-TC14PE

Depends on how hard you want to OC it. I'd recommend a bequiet Dark Rock 3 or Shadow Rock 2. They're relativeley inexpensive and cool well while being quiet. If you want to overclock really hard I'd suggest to go with the Noctua NH-D14, stated above, if you can fit it.

 

 

• Phanteks PH-TC12DX

 

I think what you meant was the PH-TC14PE ?

or you can have the smaller noctua NH-U12s if size is a key

What's the system being used for?

U14S is fine to add here. With two fans it compares with D14.

Yeah agreed. A 2500K didnt even need a nh-d14, and with 3570K's heat disappation bottleneck a nh-d14 is a waste. I'd get a nh-u12s or a nh-u14s to have some space in your rig and still have the same cooling performance as a nh-d14. Theyre also quieter than the nh-d14 and comes with a pwm fan.
