Cheaper liquid coolers have higher chamber of leakage and high end liquid coolers aren't cheap. A good air cooler will keep the temperatures under limit and also provide adequate room for overclocking. Paired with a good cabinet and pleanty of case fans, your are good to go.

Ok. So I'm going to go for an air cooler but which one? Can you give me some idea? Also my cabinet is a HAF 912 with 2 preinstalled fans and 1 I added. Should this cabinet coupled with the air cooler be enough to run the latest games at ultra for a couple of hours?

912 is a good cabinet. What's your budget for the cooler?

Thermalright Venomous-X @ 3k along with 2x 120mm Fans having 1600-2000 RPM - so the whole deal should cost your around 4-4.5k and you will get performance as good as NH D-14 ;-) but the cooler can't be used with any AMD cpus if that counts as a con for you.

I would recommend deepcool assassin. Comes with two fans for a push pull config and performs real close to the d14

Thank you all for your help. Will take the mobo to the service center next week and also buy the CPU Cooler. Will let you guys know the final outcome. :).

SO here is the final result. I took my mobo to the Service Centre and they replaced it without even checking (though charged me 500 for the physical damage I had caused to the sata ports :p) and I bought a CM Seidon 120XL Liquid CPU cooler after some thoughts. I came back put up the new mobo and the temp was still in 80s. Installed the new cooler and it dropped to less than 40 instantly. Conclusion - Stock Intel CPU Coolers suck big time. Lasted me just around a year.

Here are some pics of the new cooler and the inside of my cabinet.. :D.. IMG_20130419_162502.jpg

Thanks everyone for your help n I'm not planning to Oc the processor in any way. Not possible. Just thought why not buy a good one if you're buying. And I made the right choice. The games which used to stutter a little don't at all anymore. It was coz of heating issues. Also my max temp while playing crysis 3 at ultra is 50 without lags. So I'm pretty content with it.

I'm using a Nvidia Zotac 560..

Guys this is a bit off topic but does anyone have any idea where to get LED lights for the cabinet from? I live in Noida and couldn't find them in Nehru Place. Is it available online anywhere?
