Air Cooling for a 3570K

[Rikus78]

I´m searching for an air cooling solution for a 3570K working at 4.200 mhz

I saw "Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO" but living at the south of spain, in summer may be i need another better.

Any other cooler?

If you have no budget noctua d14, thermalright silver arrow, or the phanteks cooler

here a chart may give some help in scaling , look at 85W column .

There are a lot of good coolers and looking at data there not big difference in tops ones .

ok , find a cooler you like on left, then look at what the load temps are above ambient in the 85W column.
Lower is better , higher up the coolers are better overall, coolers down are worse .

But remember too the coolers fan are set to high so if MB adjusts cooler fan don't expect same results unless you set cooler up .

example I have 212 evo ,but my fan runs 50% (1000rpm) at idle and full loads around 75% (1500 rpm) . this gives quiet idles and decent load temps .

The chart gives each cooler at constant load(125w and 85W loads) and fan setting so you just compare all on equal grounds .

here more detail on how they tested

Thing to remember is there testing each HS/fan on equal settings, loads but just don't use there results as what your core temps will be,( as there not reading die core temps AFAIK )

hope you understand it, its pretty straight forward .

The higher on the list the better. But you may want to research the cooler you select to see if it is noisy. Some of those can sound like jet engines. The ones I highlighted are pretty quiet.

right , the ones you mention are good , there are db noise values given but again depending on how fan is setup/connected your results may alter from max speed noise .

I got the 212 evo cause it was cheap and not to big an heavy . It does pretty good for it size and price .

I don't have expectation of OC very high so all is good .

Ok thanks, i understand.

Finally, ill go for 212 EVO for mi 3570K running at 4.200 mhz

Ambient degrees here around 33º, i hope is enough
