Hey folks, p much the first time I've ever really been here but I wanted some help on getting a new cooler for my system so I can start OCing my 3470k to around 4-4.5Ghz at an acceptable temperature. This is my first time working with OCing a system so I've got no experience with previous cooling units so I wanted some advice. At the moment I'm using a Zalman Z9+ case with an ASRock Z77 Pro3 mobo and an ASUS GTX 770 (Here's a photo of my current build - the stuff holding up the GPU is dental floss which I used as a temporary means of stopping it from sagging in the slot) and I'm looking for a budget of no more than £60 not inc. delivery fees and preferably I want something that'll not completely eat up space. I've heard good things about the Hyper 212 Evo but but I'm a little unsure on whether or not it'd fit inside my case. The only thing I'm thinking about is whether or not the 212 might be ideal or not, given that I'm thinking of pushing it to around 4-4.4Ghz. As for water cooling I've given consideration to some of Corsair's units inc the refurbished H80 given the price, but would the fact that its refurbished matter at all? Also I'm unsure on whether or not it'd be a little more difficult to set up. Would this be a better alternative to the 212 or not? Would appreciate some help on this.
