[HoiDaniel]

hyper 212 evo is known for it's outstanding performance for the price.

BeQuiet! Pure Rock for the better price-performance then the 212 Evo and be quieter.

the Hyper 212 evo, noctua is a premium brand, the NH-L9I is for HTPC and not overclocking, a comparable noctua cooler would be much more expensive. Do you have any other options? There are better/quieter/prettier budget coolers

212, the noctua one is totally inadequate for overclocking

how much do u expect me to get it up to? it comes 4.4ghz out of the box, can i get it like 4.6 or possibly 4.8?

you got a 4790k? if so the stock frequency is 4, 4.4 is turbo so maintaining 4.4 is an overclock and it depends on your chip how much you can get.

yes its the 4790k and it is 4.4 and i wanna know if 212 evo will allow it to maintine like 4.6 idleast

 

4.8 would be amazing!

It's 4.0, i have the same cpu, on air, i would say 4.5-4.6 is a good cpu, you may get 4.4, remember 4.4 is the turbo frequency, that's only 2 cores on mild usage, it's very different to maintain 4.4 on 4 cores all the time

i have no idea what the hell we are talking about hahaha

 

so the short answer is yes? i can get it at 4.6 with the 4790k with 212evo?

Maybe, if you got a great overclocking chip, but with that kind of cooling 4.4-4.5 is more likely

whats the overclocking chip? how can i buy a better  one?

 

i also own a asus hero motherboard, would that help with overclocking?

It's luck, some chips overclock better, the hero is a good mobo, that part should be fine, but right away, 4.6 is a BIG maybe, you may get 4.4, depends if you got lucky with the CPU you got, just how it works, more than 4.6 on a hyper 212 evo is almost impossible, and 4.6 is unlikely. I had a CM Seidon 120V and that let me overclock to 4.5, now i got a better cooler and i can get 4,7. But you gotta lower your expectations, 4.8 ain't happening, 4.6 if you're really lucky.

Freezer i30 , maybe ?
