I have a intel i5 2500k which i game on and when I get a air cooler (using stock atm) I will overclock the hell outa it.

I need a good cooler which will be able to work with high 2500k overclocks.

I dont have any RAM clearence issues and my case is plenty-big.

What do you guys think Noctua, Nzxt, or one of the be quiets maybe????

CHEERS!!

I'd say Noctua since you haven't got any RAM clearance issues.

Noctua NH-D14 unless you're going for a particular theme, such as black and [insert colour here], in which case the Be Quiet! ones are a bit sexier.

NZXT all the way, i had a Noctua but think the NZXT is far more visually pleasing. I strongly reccommend it, am using one right now.

The Noctua DH-14 is the best cooler for that chip by a long way.
