Corsair H60 vs CryoRig H5 Ultimate

[wardryan2000]

I'm running an i7-6700k and am deciding between the Corsair H60 and CryoRig H5 Ultimate for my new CPU cooler. I've heard the H60 is not that good so that's why I found the H5 Ultimate. Which would be best? Is there a better cooler for around the same price?

They both would work fine for a 6700k. I like the h5 because it gives about the same performance and is probably quieter without having to worry about a liquid cooler, but that is my personal preference. I use an h5 on my 6700k, I use it overclocked sometimes at 4.5ghz and temps are always within norms(73c max under stress test).

I forgot to add that the Noctua NH-U12S or the NH-U14S are also close in price and (the NH-U14S in particular) are very good coolers.
