Please recommend a good cooler for overclocking the e4300 on air. Something quiet too, with a 120mm fan preferably. Space isn't really an issue, it's an Antec P180 case with a Gigabyte DS3. There are two 120mm exhaust fans very close to the cpu, and 1 120mm intake fan.

Thanks!
 
tuniq tower or thermalright ultra-120 (or the extreme version if you can find one in stock).
 
I got a scythe ninja but probably any of the giganto-tower coolers will be fine. Just a word of caution; the 12v auxiliary power connection above the socket is a huge pain in the ass to work with with a P180 and any sort of large heatsink. I had a lot of fun getting that connector plugged in; do it before you install the motherboard. It'll make some power wires run across your board too, which I had wedge under the video card around the southbridge.
 
I have an Ultra-120 and it works well coupled with a Scythe S-Flex - good cooling and nearly silent.
