Hey guys, I'm looking to buy an i5 7600k. I know it's capable of getting between a 4.9 and 5.0ghz overclock, but I'm not sure if I should get an AIO or just a bulky air cooler. What do you guys think? If so what air cooler or AIO do you recommend I get? Thanks!

Did you heard about silicon lottery?

 

In short, if you didn't win it, even the best CPU cooler and the best mobo in the market won't let your CPU OC well.

Idk if the Hyper 212 Evo will get YOUR job done but it is a really good overclock cooler and quiet cooler

I would recommend the Thermalright True Spirit 140 Power, it's only around $50 and has an amazing performance for its price. Only drawback is it's very tall, so make sure it can fit inside your case. I would've bought one in a heartbeat if it could fit in my case.

Quick question, what was it again that you said you were getting the 7600k for? Because if the answer is "games", then forget it, you'd be much better served with a 7700.

It's not a good "oc cooler", its a good BUDGET cooler. There's a big difference there. The 212x is good because it's pretty cheap for what it offers, not because it's actually powerful or anything.
