I want to start oc'ing heavily (like 4ghz,) but I do not have the money to put together a WC loop. Can someone find me the best air cooler, and give me an idea of how much I can OC?

The dark knight is good for most people. If you wanna go all out there is the megahelam or the TRUE.

prolimatech megahalem is the best unless you plan on having super high cfm fans on it with an uber high oc. In which case the TRUE Copper Lapped with like 250cfm deltas will outperform the mega. But all in all get a megahalem as it is great with virtually any fans. I am at 4 stable in a ****ty case so you don't have to worry too much about having the ultimate. 4 really isn't hard to get

Can some one link me to the TRUE or Megahalem on newegg?

A nice HSF is great, but having good airflow and cable management is important too.
It will directly affect the performance of whatever HSF you chose, in addition to your other system components.

Get some nice fans and pick-up some zip ties (if you haven't already)

Edit:

The Egg doesn't carry Megahalems (not sure bout TRUE), anyway check out FrozenCPU or Performance-PCs. They got whatcha need

I'm thinking this as a heatsink, and using two of these in a push-pull config. Will that get me to 4GHz 100% stable?
