[SOLVED] Advice with CPU Cooler.

[Wathup]

I want to build a pc with i5-9600KF, but i don't know what CPU Cooler I need to choose.
I would like one that doesn't make too much noise, but also does its job.

What do you recommend? The price cap should be at 100$, but if there are cheaper options, I am more than happy

Well you might want to try a cheap but pretty decent in cooling one, try CM Hyper 212 EVO, Deepcool Gammaxx 300 or 400. Thermal paste pre applied, but using with aftermarket Thermal paste (Such as Arctic MX4 or Noctua NT-H1, most popular thermal paste) and apply it with proper would increase the cooling performance in some way.

Probably one of the strongest and quietest, regardless of price is the noctua NH-D15s for $79.
