I currently have a I5 2500K on air using a Geil tranquillo v1 I get about 37 on idle and about low 70's on load with it overclocked to 4.2.

I am thinking of upgrading to a I7 2700K or I7 3770K and would like to purchase a water cooler.

My first question is my current cpu cooler enough to use for either of these cpus without buying a water cooler ? If not then what would be the best budget option water cooler to use ?

I have only enough space for 1 x 120mm fan so i can't use dual and price is very important due to the high cost of 2nd hand cpu's.

can anyone please advise ?

Cheers
Dan
