Hi

Just built a pc (for my son) based on Gigabyte board and Intel i5 3750. Antec 300 two case.

All works well but I used the "free" Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2 that Gigabyte had on promotion. Temps ok at standard but any overclock and they get a bit high.

The case has good ventilation with fans front/rear/top so I think the cheap cpu cooler is the problem.

Looking for suggestions for best under £40 cooler.
 
I would say the True Spirit 140, but you need massive clearance (170mm). So not for the Antec 300.

Else there are plenty of choices. CM 612s, Titan Fenrir Evo, A70, Matterhorn Pure, probably even the True Spirit 120. Which would be my choice for quiet operation, case and ram clearance, and decent performance. Decent enough for 4.2GHz overclock, maybe higher (got my 2500K 4.4GHz comfortably with the MUX120, which is practically the same thing, if a little less performant).
