I have an old H50 used to cool my i5 3570k in a Raven RV02-E. I'm currently pushing it to 4.2 ghz but that is about the max it'll go temperature wise. Now, looking at current CPU cooling solutions, it seems like air CPU coolers are better suited for the 90 degree turned motherboards give or take. So in reviewing possible CPU coolers, it seems like the Hyper 212 EVO is pretty much the best bang for the buck. However.. what would really be the difference between something like the Hyper 212 and forking out $40-$50 more for the Noctua NH-D14 or something similar? Is there really a huge bump in performance for the price? Or is it not really worth it currently for maybe an extra 100-200mhz?
