All,
So, I recently got given a 4790K on a Maximus Hero VII mobo with 16GB of RAM. I've managed to cobble the rest of the parts to make the machine work and, due to the stock cooler on it, temps are hitting ~50-55c on idle. I'm looking at obviously replacing the cooler and will be wanting to overclock it dependant on how a replacement cooler goes. Now, in the last few years, I've been using AIO's but this machine does not need it for where it's going and for who it's going to and I'm not really across what are good air coolers these days, hence my call for help. I was wondering if I could have some recommendations thrown to me about really solid, high performing (but hopefully relatively quiet) air coolers that I could use. I hate to be a hassle, but since I'm located in Australia, just wondering if any links posted could be from coolers listed here (https://www.pccasegear.com/category/207_23/cooling/cpu-cooling). Reason being is that I would know I could get the stock in AU and not need to resort to overseas sites.
Many thanks to any replies/suggestions!
