CPU Cooler - Which / Suggestions

[Deleted]

Hello all!

I'm looking to overclock my i5-3570k. I've never OC'd before but I do know that I need a cooler. Not my stock market one (obviously).

So I'm looking for some suggestions on what type of Cooler to use.

I've got a few coolers lined up so if you could say which one would be better then I would appreciate it.

Arctic Cooling Freezer 13
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Cooler Master Hyper T4

These are the ones I've my eye on.

Next comes a second question:

Is it advisable to use just Fan based coolers, or water coolers?

I'm open to other suggestions!

Thank you in advance!

212 evo is a clear winner.
Deciding between AIO and Air coolers:
1) If something goes wrong in AIO you will have to replace whole AIO, while in air cooler only the fan would need replacing
2) quality AIO is considerably more expensive than air cooler
3) extra noise from AIO

Didn't know that about AIO coolers. Cheers man! I think I'll go ahead with the 212 EVO. Been thinking of going with that one but other peoples opinions are far more valuable imo.
