Overclocked CPU Cooler Question

[TheKampfMeister]

I am planing to overclock my i5-3570k to 4.5 or even a little higher and was wondering which of these coolers would have better performance in cooling. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo or the Corsair H50 Liquid Cooler. Would the 212 evo be sufficient enough even if I am overclocking, or should I exceed my budget to get a higher performing liquid cooler. If anyone knows how high I could push the 3570k before I would need a better cooling solution than the 212 evo that would be great. Thanks for any responses!

with a 212 evo you can probably hit 4.2ghz without problem but i dont think you can get much higher without an h80 or h100 kind of cooling.. again it depends on your chip as well as ambient temps i could be wrong and you may be able to ht 4.5ghz off a 212 though i have yet to see it happen

for liquid coolers i would not go under an h80i. For air coolers the Evo performs very well. If you can move your budget up a bit I would go with the Noctua U12S if you can stand the fan color or the Xigmatek Dark Knight.

It depends how you place in the sillicon lottery. You can't say you want to overclock to this clockspeed. It depends how much you have to increase the voltage.

P.S single fan AIO coolers is stupid just get the best air cooler you can get for the same price

I would take the Hyper evo i think it will do better then a single slim rad all in one.

However if u will be able to hit 4,5 hmmm questionable u would need a premo binned i5 i think.

Go for a H100i or something simalar and it will be easy

I have a 3570k with a sabertooth board and I'm using a 212 evo right now. The automatic overclocking on board got it to 4.2 and I was able to get it to 4.4 without any trouble.

Edit: my 212 evo is in push/pull with corsair sp120 quiet editions.

the Scythe Mugen? its a beast of a cooler

Don't skimp on cooling, the 3570K is already a semi hot chip not OCed get a water 2.0 from thermaltake and 2 noctua fans and just be done with it.

The Evo is cheaper, better, and can reach up to 4.5-4.6 ghz depending on your chip and case airflow.
