upgrading my CM hyper 212+

Its payday and I have the upgrade itch again. I recently got a 7970 so it cant be anything big because I'll feel bad, and anyway I'm waiting for haswell. So I'm thinking of getting a better cpu cooler. I can hit 3.7GHz on my i7 860 on a CM hyper 212+, will I get higher than that if I went for something like this?

Apologies if the link doesn't work, I'm on my pants tablet.

I must say, that would be a fantastic choice of cooler. Beware, if you dont have low/mid profile RAM it'll be impossible to install without removing the RAM or the heat-spreader.

I bought one and I love it despite being MASSIVE!

What was the link to? I came help otherwise. Id suggest the k2/d14/silver arrow or Tc14PE. Was it one of them?

Op's original link was to the k2. An awesome cooler, but as said. Make sure your ram will fit with it.
