I need good cooling for i5 750. It's 1156 Socket. Price doesn't matter. Could you help me please? :)
 
Air cooling oe water cooling?
Are you gonna oc your cpu or run it at stock clock?
For the all arround good performance air cooling go with this
cooler master hyper 212 evo
http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master...5&sr=8-1&keywords=cooler+master+hyper+212+evo
For better performance
PROLIMATECH Megahalems
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...156_1366_2011_AM2_AM2_AM3.html?tl=g40c14s1037
At for all in one water cooling i would go with
Corsair Hydro Series H80
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Perfo...F8&qid=1360863587&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+h80
 
Yes, I will try overclock it to something like 3.8GHz.
So okay, it looks pretty nice. But here's my another question: is there enough space in my case for those coolings? (I mean Prolimatech Megahalems and Corsair Hydro Series H80 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CWCH80))
Here's the screen, if you can just rate if it's enough (it's in attachment)
(on the other side of the case there's literally 0 space)

If the answer is no I'll stick with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, if there aren't any other proposistions.
I'm a complete newbie to this.

I can not tell what kind of case do you have.
At for the H80, if your case have a 120mm fan mounting at the top, you should be able to mount the H80 there or mount it where the exhaust fan is, i have seen many people do that
 
Like this?
Will I have to get rid of that fan?

That air cooler are good but it is also very big and tall, i don't think your case will have room for it.
What case do you have?, if i know the case i may suggest some other cooler
 
If I knew I would say that 2 posts ago :p
Here's the photo if it would help somehow.

Could you measure from your motherboard to a straight edge so we know what the clearance is?

Subtract 8mm from the motherboard to side cover measurement and you have the cooler clearance measurement. ;)
 
I'll order H80 or some high-end air cooling pretty soon. Thanks for all the help.
 
:eh?:H80i is cheaper than the h80 on newegg.
I would personally just go for a h100 if you could mount it somewhere, take a drill to the case if you can't.
