Cooler suggestions for i7 7700K

[Raekwon]

Hi there,
I have recently upgraded to an i7 7700K and obviously it is running much hotter than my previous i5. I've already hit 83 degrees when gaming, which is well safe at stock speeds but I do plan to overclock which throws Intel's 100 degrees limit out the window. I therefore would like to improve my cooling, am currently using the Hyper EVO 212. What do you guys recommend? Budget is flexible.
Cheers

You have that mounted wrong or something at stock speeds you should not be reaching 83C when gaming. Unless your board is putting to much voltage to it.
I would put this against any air cooler made and even most AIO water coolers.

I had a check just to be sure but it looks like it's mounted correctly. And it only peaked at 83, most of the time it sits around 70-77. Intel have said that reaching 75-80 is normal. 100 degrees is the T-junction for the processor and any temperatures below that value are considered expected and normal. https://communities.intel.com/thread/11220

Just ran AIDA64 for 10 mins, here are the results:

Seen a couple people get slightly better results but they have better coolers, so I think it's pretty standard for 7700K's to run this hot. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Sounds too hot lol, even i7-6700k OC to 4.5Ghz runs 8C cooler than that. Either that's because of Kaby Lake infamous hotness or you may need to research cooler.

Depends on your case, you can look at NH-15 or NH-D15S, which are essential the same top performer heatsink but with dual/single fan and different clearance. They are 1-2C better than Cryorig R1 Ultimate (bigger fans) and the S can fit into smaller Mid Tower case (only 160mm height with fan). Noctua is among the most silent you have ever heard as well, in round up review against similar top performer and high end AIO the Noctua is always on top spot or second spot for silence.

I would never say anything under 100C is normal or ever run my chip in the 90C and higher area.

My 4790k @4.6 running OCCT is in the upper 70's will hit low 80s some with the R1 cooler.

I knew there were problems with temp spikes and they were investigating but that response from Intel is a joke. Tempted now to swap it out for a 6700K or I'll have to consider de-lidding if I want to clock it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm using a Corsair 200R so it looks like a D-15 won't fit but the S version should squeeze in. Will probably buy an extra fan to make it dual as well. Lets hope my temps improve with it. Cheers.
