Thanks for feedback.

On the subject of coolers, which is better for use with:

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail [BX80637I53570K]

This cooler:

Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1156/1155/1366/AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1) [84000000057]

or

Antec Kúhler H2O 620 CPU Watercooler (Socket Intel LGA 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / AMD AM2 / AM3 / AM2+ / AM3+) [0-761345-77085-9]

K2 for me. Or NH-D14, SilverArrow, Dark Rock Pro 2... I prefer air coolers, which are quiet, no need to go crazy on performance, you just need something reasonable to get to 25-30% overclock, and that's where the sweet-spot is, beyond that, it's just cherries on top.
