The H55 is based on on old design so I'd stay away from that, look for the H60 refresh instead.

I agree, you're looking to spend nearly £100 or more to get a decent AIO, you would probably be better off going with air

You could get a Hyper 12 Evo as that seems to be the go to for a decent cooler, or you could do some shopping around in your price range.

Try Googling best budget air coolers for Overclocking/gaming etc.

+1 212 EVO is one of the best value air coolers in the world. If you can't find EVO get the X (newer but pretty much the same) but NOT the turbo. The is known to be the absolute top in value air coolers so i'd recommend that first tho

Are u sure it's not turbo boost/clock to 3.7ghz? When you overclock you create a custom clock by adding voltages and stuff

http://ark.intel.com/products/80815/Intel-Core-i5-4590-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz this page says that

if i completly understand max turbo hz the 3.7 is that the overclock speed?

 

 

turbo boost clock is different from overclocking. You don't need a cooler for boost clock. THe only reason to get an air cooler now is for temperature and silence
