Getting a 4670k and wanting some suggestions on cooling it. Been thinking of the usual 212. Currently have an Antec 300 case. Wanting a solid overclock between 4.3-4.5 (luck be willing, ymmv, and all that) and wanting a way to keep it cool.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
 
212 Evo is great, but if you want to pay a bit more, consider Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev. A. It could be a bit massive for a small case though...
 
No, I think it makes more sense to buy a better heat sink than an extra fan. Push pull usually provides little benefit, because on a small heat sink, one fan is enough to almost completely saturate the heat sink's capacity for heat dissipation. Push pull is also typically noisy, as the pull fan's blades spin closer to the heat sink, thus making more noise than the push fan's blades (and of course, even if it only made the same amount of noise, you'd still have two fans making noise instead of one).
 
Thanks for the suggestion on the Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev. A. The reviews look great. 162mm tall looks like it will fit also. 16.2 cm is roughly 6.4 inches and I have about 7.25 inches of clearance from the mb to the case side. Do you think this would be enough clearance?
 
The NT-H1 is not needed! HR-02 comes with Thermalright's own Chill Factor 3 which is just as good as NT-H1. You should cancel the NT-H1 order...
