Cooler Choice

Looking for a new cpu cooler for a decent overclock 4ghz seems to be the limit with the Intel cooler.

I've got a MSI Z68A-GD65 G3 witn 4 sticks of vengeance blue in it, so need it to clear.

I was thinking Antec 920 however if I can accomplish the same sort of results on air quietly (ish) and cheaper I am open to suggestion.

I ahve the Antec 920. Dead silent and with my i5 at 4.8 24/7 never breaks past 64 at full load. I think this would drop furtehr if I had decent ventilation in my case. Currently using a coolermaster silencio.

A closed loop water cooler will guarantee fitment, H60/H80/Antec Kuhler620/OCUK H2 FLO etc

Yes I was primarily thinking Antec 920 but just wanted gauge opinion on air coolers.

I miss my old thermoab baram tbh. However having said that I have the 920 ont he lowest possible setting and I've not seen my oc'd [email protected] go north of 64c.

The 920 is really quiet, really well built and I wish I had got it sooner.
