^^ I bought the TRUE 120 way back in 2008 when I was new to the concept OCing but got overloaded with work and travel since 2009 and running on stock since then :p
Its proven hard to get Z series motherboards(non Asus) in Chennai esp Biostar/Asrock. I'm expecting call backs from asrock retailers tomorrow so will know if i'm gonna get SB cpu or IVB. going OT, BTW know any place from where I can get higher grit sandpapers to finish lapping? (can't find any in hardware shops in chennai)

Which cooler should I go for in case of a Asus P8Z68 LE baord with i72600k and 16gb Corsair Vengeance RAM? I want it below Rs 2000/-

If I don't wanna OC a core i5 2500K then am I good to go with the stock cooling? How high will the temps reach with a R6950 2 gb while playing BF3 at 1080p Ultra? 70*C or higher?

The temperature of an air cooled cpu depends on a lot of other factors apart from the work load. Room temperature, case's air flow system, amount of wiring and case size are some of those factors I can think of now.
I am sure the stock cooler can handle the non OCed core under a wide range of loads at normal room temperature.

I didnt know the stock cooler for the 2600k was so inadequate for it. *makes a mental note*

@tkin : Love the cpu cooler you have. Costlier, but best in the whole lot.

I think we should rename this thread to : CPU Cooler Guide For Sandy/Ivy Bridge - Ivy Bridge cpus run hotter than SB cpus - so IB cpus need more cooling than SB cpus ;-)

Good idea.
Someone should also update the *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/cpu-motherboards/150570-intel-lga-1155-motherboard-thread.html and *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/cpu-motherboards/149791-best-cpus-money-india.html threads to include the IB cpu and Z77 mobos

Not just the cooler, the NTH1 thermal paste is a beauty too, zero curing time, no spreading needed, and even after an year the conductivity remains solid.

Go ahead, the socket is same for both.

Yes, I heard the paste supplied is good too. Pity the dollar messed up its price in india. The prices went up almost 1k in the last few months.

Done ;-)

BTw, I think you should update the first post with coolers like Cm Hyper 212 Evo, DeepCool frostwin etc. coolers.

Ah finally i have stumbled upon the correct thread. My upgraded system spec will look like this:
processor- i5 2500k
Mobo- Asus P8Z77-M
GPU- ASUS ENGTX 560 DirectCU Single Fan
PSU- Corsair GS600
Cabinet- NZXT Gamma
RAm- G Skill 2 x 4Gb 1600MHz CL9
HDD- Seagate barracuda 2 TB(5400 RPM)+ 500 GB(7200 RPM)

Now I am looking for a overclock of 4.2- 4.3 GHz. Will Hyper 212 Evo suffice for that kind of overclock? If not then please suggest one within 3k. Also if i do go for hyper 212 Evo will it fit in my cabinet?:-?
