Cooler for 2600K

[zom247]

I'm looking for a cooler for my 2600K which will be clocked at 4.5 if I can do it. Is it worth going for the Silver Arrow or one of the water cooling options? It's going into a Raven R03 case so size shouldn't be a problem!

And what RAM do you have? if its tall then you need to be wary of fitment clashes with the heatsink fan.

Just noticed your max cooler clearance is 163mm. That rules out the Silver Arrow/Phanteks.
You should be able to squeeze a K2 or D14 in there just about. If possible, take a measurement from your cpu socket to the side panel.

Got some Corsair low profile RAM. Learnt my lesson a while ago when buyinh RAM with big heatsinks!

A Coolermaster 612s or the Alpenföhn Matterhorn Pure will be fine for what you want.

I would go the CoolerMaster Hyper 612S CPU cooler as it has a Quick snap fan bracket feature which you may use later on for a dual fan setup
