Good day fellow members,

I have a dilemma, i have recently purchased an I5 6600k cpu and as it does not include a cpu cooler.
Thus i find myself here seeking advise , its my first build and due to me spending half my budget on the cpu alone , im trying to find the best possible solution for my build / budget.

I want a cooler that will perform well with this chosen cpu as well as be silent .

My budget is $80 which is the cost in my country for the H60.
the mobo for the build will be a msi H110m gaming ( will upgrade later on )
Another comparison to the H60 would be the DeepCool MAELSTROM 120 ( would this be as good or better?)

Thank you for your time and feedback, will be much appreciated.

165mm high, so given that the 212 series only sometimes fits the Spec-02 and Spec-03 cases, I'm pretty sure it will be too big.

Also, noise levels don't look very good for that cooler, looking at a couple of reviews:
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/cooler_master_v6_gt_review,8.html
http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/3371/cooler_master_v6_gt_cpu_cooler/index6.html

As far as price, that TweakTown review said the MSRP was $69.99 when it came out, so $50 seems a bit high for a 3yo used model.
as that item has been discontinued, it was actually $90 in my country when it got released. which is what my friend had paid.

i will check out your links and research its specs in regards to noise etc..

thanks .
