For 20 the Hyper 212 is unbeatable really

Hyper 212 Plus is the best cooler for that price range.

Is that cooler much better than the artic cooler freezer 7 pro?

i5 @ 3.7GHz under the hyper 212 in a lancool k62 case intel burn tests at 65C.

If you're happy with mid 70 temps under stress then this will easily do 4GHz.
