4770k Are any of these coolers good for overclocking a 4770K?

I have a 4770K lying around and am planning on playing around with overclocking it. I'm looking for some cheap coolers that can handle this (surely coolers that can manage an overclocked 4770K have gotten cheaper, right?), and these ones peaked my interest:

1. Cooler Master Hyper H411R
2. Silverstone Krypton K02
3. Cooler Master Hyper H412R
4. be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2
5. Antec A40PRO
6. Antec C40

#4 seems to be the best option here, with #3 being a close second. I'm going to be running the system on an open-air testbench as well. Do you reckon those coolers will be up to the task?

Any of these coolers should be able to run a 4770k overclocked, but you'll still need to delid that CPU in order to cool it enough. You can simply use non-conductive thermal paste as mx-4 or something cheap and it'll still be way better than before.

Is the purpose of delidding just to replace the TIM under the heat spreader before reattaching it?

Yes temperatures will be much better because of that

All of em are garbage by modern standards and i dont expect any to be able to get a 4770k past a measly 4.6g

 

Atleast look for a 120mm 4 or more heatpipe cooler, all of those are garbage 92mm. If you want cheap then have a look at the used market, h212 are abundant cause they were the go to cooler choice for a long time
