[SOLVED] Cpu cooling for intel i5

[kh-123]

Iv recently just finished building my first pc but a problem Iv had is the Corsair water cooling I have for my cpu doesn’t actuslly fit in my case due to the radiator. So my question is what type of fan would be suitable for the 6600k as this is my first time using intel I’m not sure I don’t plan on overclocking it the only reason I got the 6600k is because my friend bought one used it a couple of times and then got a ryzen 2700 for his birthday

Here is a reviews section of some air coolers - https://www.tomshardware.co.uk/best-cpu-coolers,review-33267.html

Is there a specific amount I need in terms of RPM or size?

What is your specific PC case? The case spec's will list the maximum supported CPU tower height in mm. Then you can use that spec to choose a CPU cooler.

What Corsair cooler do you have? Depending upon the case you may be able to use it.

It says it can support a radiator but I built everything last night And my gtx 1060 stops the radiator from being able to reach the only mesh grating veg enough for the radiator

What Corsair cooler?

The case supports up to CPU Coolers 140mm.

Rather than use a short cooler with 92mm fans , I would use one of these.

COOLER MASTER RR-G5V2-20PK-R1 120mm Loop Dynamic Bearing (LDB) CPU Cooler

Noctua makes a great one like this too but it is expensive right now.

And you could use a 120mm Corsair all-in-one water cooler too.
