CPU Cooler for i7 5930k Asus Rampage V MOBO

[daniel031792]

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering what the best cpu cooler would be for my i7 5930k. I have an asus rampage v motherboard and I only have $100 gift card from amazon to use it on. If there is a better cooler for my cpu then I don't mind paying more for it. I will also be overclocking and using the MSI 980 ti lightning when it comes out. The case I have is the corsair 750d airflow edition.
Thank you

For Air, I'm going to recommend the Dark rock TF: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/be-quiet-cpu-cooler-bk020

CLC, I'm going to go with the Nepton 280L, possibly one of the beefiest systems made: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rln28l20pkr1

I'm surprised it isn't priced higher, since it's on the cheap side of CLC systems.

I believe the Dark Rock Pro 3 is discontinued 🙁

^Yeah, but the replacement, Dark Rock TF, is pretty good too. Gonna stick with the 280L for high TDP recommendation though. Not bad at all, at that price.

Are you sure it's the replacement? It can't handle higher TDP's and it's not even a tower cooler

Wasn't aware of that because I still can get it in some of my local shops.
Pity 🙁
I intentionally haven't included Noctua D15 because not everybody likes their design. But I owned Noctua and can say they are (one of) the best.

Well, the two reviews I linked both said it was the new flagship, it's rated for a 220W TDP, and it's a "top -down dual tower". I think it looks better.

Apparently it's also meant to be "compact", but I don't see that happening somehow...
