Purchased an i7 8700k (don't question me) the other day, and I'm looking to oc around 4.8ghz. Anyone got any good suggestions for an air cooler that can keep me running smooth without breaking the bank?

 

ps if anyone knows of any good pwm fan deals right now let me know

Thanks. I know that it'll be hard but I'll give it my best shot.

Do you recommend the 190 w or the 250 w?

With the drp3, the 190 watt (one fan) or the 250 watt (two fans).

Never mind, I have autism.
