As the title says, I'm looking for suggestions on what cooler I should get to OC a 3770k to get the most bang for my buck.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Oh, incase it matters for spacing issues I have a fractal Design R4 case, ASRock extreme4 Mobo, and soon to have Msi 7950 twin frozr GPU.

Coolermaster hyper 212 with two 120s in push/pull , Corsair H70 or higher /Coolermaster Siedon 120XL is also good... plenty of other options but those some excellent value for money options...

Can't go wrong with an NH-D14. It's what I have cooling my 3770K. After delidding, I don't even hit 70c in IBT max with 4.5@1.3v

Yeah, that's the one I was always looking at but is it worth paying double or triple the price of another heatsink?
