cooler to OC i5 4690k ?
cooler to OC i5 4690k ?
Hi, I'm trying to overclock my i5 4690k but don't know which heatsink to choose. Can I get a decent OC on a $30-$50 cooler? Or is a $70 one better worth it? I want an OC of around 4.5 GHz max, but I don't want something that forces me to run at full power constantly. Help would be really appreciated!

Ensure your tower compatibility by reviewing the 'View Compatible Cases' section.
Given the high O/C expectations, the H5 model is recommended unless your tower doesn't support it.
try the hyper 212, the updated model can also be available in a 2 fan version, though it varies by case. It should fit a full ATX build and possibly a mid tower setup if you're lucky.

I noticed high O/C ratings, so the H5 would be a better fit, as long as your system supports it!
That was another cooler I was considering... my thoughts kept drifting to Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3, I don't know why
It's a top-notch cooler though—it's quite pricey.
So the Cryorig H5 should make it simpler to reach 4.5 ghz, right? What OC level would I get from the H7—like 4.2 or 4.3? And will these overclocked fans remain quieter than the original cooler? Update: It doesn’t show my case for the H5, so it looks like it needs to be too tall.
your cpu's overclocking potential isn't fully clear yet, it also depends on the rest of your system. you're unsure if you can reach 4.5ghz. i'd suggest h7 for moderate o/c and h5 for moderate to severe. both are quieter than standard intel coolers. for a fairer comparison, remember h7 is slightly better than cm 212evo.
I think I'll opt for the H7 and check how much I can achieve with it, because the H5 is too high for my situation anyway.
I think I'll go with the H7 and check how far I can reach with it, because the H5 is too high for my setup anyway. It's a good cooler, you won't regret it.
