Nice-looking air cooling for 3770k
I'm slowly assembling my new rig, and being a fan of open-case designs I'd like to have a cooler that has a twist and doesn't look like a building. (the "tower" kinds)
Still, I'd rather want it to be high end enough to allow a good overclocking on my 3770k (that won't get a lot past 4.8 GHz anyway, the farther the better) without costing hundreds of euros.
So far I found Zalman CNPS 9900 MAX, but it's oldish (albeit still easily found at 55 euro) and I don't know how well it will perform on an ivy bridge.
I'll keep looking out for cool ones, but I'm open to suggestions as well. Watercooling (at least the closed-loop ones I saw) is a bit too dull for my tastes.
