Need cooler for i7-2600k (4.5Ghz+)

[Sherlyn@91]

I am a hardcore gamer and I am willing to upgrade to i7-2600k so I just wanted to know that which will be the recommended cooler for the same, in my case I will be overclocking between 4.5 - 5Ghz, I am not that concerned with the temps and just need a comfortable margin, I also wanted to know if there is any closed looped water coolers that will work fine?, so is there anyone who can help me finding one??

As far as the closed loop water is concerned I think that you can check out the below ones:

• Corsair h80
• Corsair h100
• Noctua NH-D14

Other than this you can also check out the Cooler Master 212s as they are capable of working fine at 4.5Ghz without any issues.

I have checked out for the same and I think that anyone from the below one will be a better choice:

• Antec Kuhler H2O 620 CPU Cooler
• Hydro H60 High Performance CPU Cooler
• Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler SE2011

From these the Noctua NH-D14 is an expensive one but then if you are not having any problem in that, then you can definitely check it out.

If you want then you can try out “Thermalright Venomous X-RT CPU Cooler” you can just check out the specification of the same:

• Dimensions- 127 x 63 x 160 mm
• Weight-755 g (fan and bracket is not included)
• Copper base-C1100 pure nickel plated with ultra-shine mirrored surface
• Heat pipes- 6 units of 6mm centered heatpipes

I have checked out the same but then the Thermalright Venomous X-RT CPU Cooler seems to be only compatible with the 1156 motherborads and I don’t think that it will be compatible with the Asus p8z68-v pro that in my case as one of the brackets is just blocked with a capacitors, so is there any other option that I can check out???
