CPU Cooler for 4770K

[Californication]

Hey, so im planning on buying a cooler for my 4770k, which i will overclock. 

 

im having a hard time deciding on one. im on a really tight budget and i wanted to know what coller will do. i also wanted to know if the 212 evo is good enough for it 

 

 if not, can you recommend me on anything from this list:

 thanks.

212 Evo is really good for it's price if you are on a budget.

[flibberdipper]

From that list, I would go with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.

Do you plan on doing any overclocking? If so, get something like a Noctua NHD-14

 

If not, get the 212 EVO like everybody else has said

He's on a tight budget, the D14 would most likely be out of his price range.

 

Evo is a really good cooler for the price.

Yeh, 212 EVO if you are  on a budget, or have a neat little(ish) system. Other than that i will definitely reccomend the Noctua NH-D14, because it is silent and have awesome temps(i have a 4770k at 4,5ghz under mine with no problems ).

212 Evo.

Hyper 212 if you are on a budget.

 

NH-D14 if you want to get some higher overclocks since Haswell runs really hot.

[Mateyyy]

212 EVO can do its job very well, as I've seen, it's a good choice.

i do plan on overclocking, the reason i gave you this list is because these are the cpu collers in my budget from the store im buying the pc from. 

 i can buy the nh-d14 from another store the problem is that i dont really know how to mount it. 

 should i still get the d14? and does it worth the extra money. 

 

 EDIT: and will it fit on a fractal design r4 with a maximus vi gene?

It fits my XL R2 fine so it should with the R4. If you're worried about mounting it just look up some videos on youtube. I personally have the D14 and it was totally worth it as it only goes up to 70C under IBT (MAX) at 4.4GHZ.

YES it fits in an R4.   

 

The build in my signature is my gaming PC and the NH-D14 fits perfectly

The evo can do 5GHz easily and theres no performance difference between the nh-d14 & evo on haswell.. You're hitting a thermal wall before you even push a 212's to its limit.

so, you are saying that nh-d14 would be a waste of buck for me?

[AuXDubz]

Seems like a majority vote, but i would also recommend the 212 EVO

Waste of buck not necessarly, waste of space it took in your case yes.

the evo 212 will handle 4.5-4.7 Ghz with no problem?

[ragedev]

I had the Hyper 212 EVO cooling the 3930K at 4GHz at some ridiculously high 1.3V at 75-80C so it should be fine on a 4770K for around 4.6 (Depending on Voltage)

[Faa]

the evo 212 will handle 4.5-4.7 Ghz with no problem?

Of course. The problem with ivy bridge & haswell is between the die & metal cover (look http://media.bestofmicro.com/ivy-bridge,6-L-335901-13.jpg), usually the die was soldered to the heatspreader (grey metal cover) but since Ivy bridge they started to use thermal paste and glue the heatspreader that's causing a heat dispace bottleneck meaning that there's not enough heat being transfered to the heatspreader. So basically you would hit a thermal wall, there would be only around 50% of a 212 cooling capacity utilized and if you get a better cooler like a nh-d14 you're utiziling 20-30% of it with the same exact temperatures. Customloop is a waste for them.

Since heat & wattage are synonymous; a 3930K's power consumption is a lot higher than a 4670k/4770k, an evo can easily handle a 3930K@4.2-4.5GHz & or another example the evo was perfectly enough for a 2500K@5GHz which would mean a 4670K is not even a challenge for a 212.

You won't pull more clocks with a nh-d14, that's complety false. That would only happen on S2011 cpu's or AMD cpu's or Sandy bridge, not on haswell/ivy bridge.

My vote goes for the NH-D14 since it's one of the best coolers out there. I have one in my other builds and it's able to handle my 3570K at 4.7Ghz like a champ. Here's a review showing the NH-D14 handling a 3770K at 4.6Ghz. Your 4770K will of course run hotter but it should give you an idea of how good this cooler is.

Nh-u14s?
