Best cooler for mild overclocking for system in sig. 7350K

[judasmachine]

Title says it all. I'm looking for a good cooler under $70, whether air or liquid. I think I'd prefer liquid but if the air can hang, I'm easy. Sorry if this isn't the forum for cooling, but it is OC. It's been years since I hung out here.

Liquid: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer 120
Thick radiator (49 mm) and 2 fans

I'm going to recommend the one I am using, the NH-U14S:

Did they implement Hyper-Threading for that i3 7350K? I didn't know they had i3's with an unlocked multiplier . . .

I want to recommend some cheap hsf but I don't know OP's case hsf height limitation.
One of the cheapest and robust hsf I ever had is Deepcool Gammaxx 400 and still serves me well.

It's part of Intel KBL refresh sku. Just before CFL was out.

How well would a 212 evo do on that cpu?

Very well. But it won't match Noctua's U14S / D14S and heavy duty AIO.

I doubt it would cool as well as thenoctua solutions. But it does look alot smaller and well priced

 

[ao_ika_red]

Yeah, their price is the only reason why I seldom to look into them at first place except if I need to cool 7980xe or 1950x.

I've got some reading to do. I have a stupid stock cooler from an older i3 I had on it now. My brother is giving me a Corsair H55 (?) liquid cooler although it's quite old. Thanks and I'll start reading that round up.

Just an update in case anyone else reads this: The Corsair H55, although old, works great. Idles 19 to 22C and loads at 52 to 54C.
