Cooler for Z68 2500K Overclocking

[Smartazz]

Hello all, I was hoping to overclock my 2500K on stock cooling, however I'd rather not as load temps already hit around 65C. I few comments on the cooler I'm looking for:

1. I want a prefilled cooler like the Corsair H80 since I transport my system from time to time and I don't want a huge heatsink.
2. Not looking for any outrageous overclocks, maybe 5%-10% over stock volts and 4-4.4GHz.
3. Case is the Antec 1200 which I've heard is difficult to install the H100 into.

Any recommendations on what would fit the bill? Thanks.

For a 2500K at up to 4.6Ghz, a moderate cooler will do fine.

This is the perfect case for a $35 Hyper 212 EVO, but since you specifically want a prefilled liquid cooler, you can go with the cheaper options: Antec Kuhler 620 or the Corsair H60, or even a used H50. Any of those easily handle the 2500K.

Coolit Ecos are running for $40 or so at ncix.

I think I'm gonna get the H80. This way I'll get a little extra performance over the H60 and an extra fan that I'll add to supply the GPU with cooler air. By the way, am I going to be better off installing the radiator on the upper or lower fan of the case?
