[Fayros]

Hello everyone!.

I'm kinda new to pc building and I would really apreciate your advice.

I have an i5 9600k and want a good value cpu cooler. I don't want to spend a lot and intend to do minor oc in the future, nothing to drastic. Thanks!

I'd roll with the Cryorig H7 too.

But if you are running at stock and wont overclock, then a Cooler Master 212 EVO or Gammaxx 400 will be fine and they are a little bit cheaper.

The Hyper 212 EVO is a stalwart favorite. But I think there are many things about the Cryorig H7 that easily justify the extra $8. However, if all you care about is cooling performance....both solutions ougt to be the same.

I don't know why but the h7 is like 90 usd on amazon. The deepcool 400 looks cool though, is it better than the Hyper 212?

You don't want to buy from newegg?

Deepcool is on par with the 212.

The deepcool and the 212 will perform very similarly.
