Spec me a lovely cooler.

Hello again,

Right. I need a decent CPU cooler for an i5-2500K on an Extreme 4 Gen 3, which I will most likely be OCing to 4.5GHz +

Anyway it needs to be good performing and looking, and will fit in the Zalaman Z9+ and over the Kingston Hyper X Grey RAM...

Thanks

Think silver arrow maybe too large for this.. Although you could try to measure the available space in your case with some card...

Corsair H80. Quiet cool and sleek.

Depends what you define as good looking but good options are: Thermalright Silver Arrow/Cogage Arrow, Thermalright Venomous X, Noctua NH-D14, Phanteks PH-TC14PE.

I don't want a watercooler, I prefer to go air.

Also I would preferably like the cooler to be under £50...

Stretch to this if you can:

The Thermalright Silver, Noctua NH-D14 might be great performance wise, but they won't win any prizes in the looks department.
Coolers are designed to look good they're not designed to perform well ( so if you do find one that looks great, it's probably not going to have the best performance.)

I have a cooler for sale in the MM - check my sig!

It looks lovely and isn't a bad cooler.

I like the looks of the BeQuiet! coolers

Not as good cooling performance as the silver arrow but I think it looks a lot more sleek.
