I looking for suggestions for a good cooler that can support an overclocked processor (original: 3.2ghz) of 4.2ghz. I know a water cooler would be a good choice for this but it'd be nice to know if there were air coolers that'd might work too

4.2 should be easily obtainable with a Hyper 212 EVO. Assuming that you're using a 3770k like in the pictures.

As others have said, pick up a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. Excellent cooler for the price. I used one for a while (had my 3570k up to 4.4 on it) and have installed one on numerous computers.

212Evo will just be able to do it, if you want to spend a little more get a Dark Rock 2
