Hi All

Just got a i5 2500K and Im looking at getting an aftermarket HSF. Which is the best now a days? I want something quiet but also good for overclocking/good temps.

Back in the day when I last looked at buying a cooler, the Megahalems were the best, but that was a few years ago now, so Im open to any new suggestions.

Cheers

I have the Coolermaster Hyper 212+ and have been very happy with it.

I had it on my AMD build and just reused it on my Intel build.

Phantek's new cooler, D-14 and Silver Arrow at the king. I have seen the Silver Arrow(my cooler) and the D-14 in person they are both epic but I like the Arrow better. If you dont want a large tower cooler You can check out the Archon Rev B. Its right behind the Silver Arrow but is only a single tower so you dont have to worry about RAM size. Good Luck!

I can get the 212 Evo for like half the price of the Megahalems? Are they better? Can they take another fan?

I'm re-running the Thermaltake Spin Q on my i7. It was on my Core2Quad and I was able to go from 2.4 to 3.4 stable @ 66c max. Check my sig - I top out @ 65c on this 2700k. I also have the side of my case permanently removed.
